Thief takes 17 guns, 2 rifle scopes from Kodiak pawnshop

KODIAK — A masked burglar took 17 guns and two rifle scopes from Wild Trader's Pawn and Locksmith shop in Kodiak.

The Kodiak Daily Mirror reports the suspect broke into the shop early Saturday morning and walked to a display case, smashed the glass and took the weapons.

The Kodiak Police Department is asking people purchasing guns from private sources to contact authorities if they suspect a weapon is stolen.

Serial numbers for the stolen guns have been reported to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Owner Kim Davidson has owned the shop for nearly 20 years and says he plans to offer a reward for information that leads to an arrest.
