Two brothers, ages 14 and 11, were arrested after police said they broke into a Florida gun shop and stole 22 firearms and ammunition.
The juveniles were taken into custody on Wednesday on numerous charges including 22 counts of grand theft of a firearm, one count of armed burglary, one count of criminal mischief, and one count of resisting without violence, the Cape Coral Police Department said at a news conference.
The 14-year-old was also charged with violating his probation. NBC News is not naming the suspects because they are minors.
The arrests come amid a nationwide debate on gun control and more stringent gun laws in the wake of mass shootings carried out by teenage suspects. Last month, an 18-year-old man shot 13 people — 11 of whom are Black — in a racist attack at a Buffalo, New York, grocery store. Just weeks later, an 18-year-old killed 19 students and two teachers at a Uvalde, Texas, elementary school.
President Joe Biden earlier this month pleaded with Congress to act and take on gun control legislation and said Republican congressional opposition to the gun measures was “unconscionable.”
Cape Coral police were alerted around 3 a.m. Wednesday of a burglary in progress at Guns 4 Less. Officers quickly responded and saw the brothers running away "armed with multiple handguns, ammunition, magazines and long guns," police spokesperson Sgt. Julie Green said.

Likely a certain demographic that starts young in order to have the requisite number of arrests by age 20.
So it seems.
Violating parole at age 14. This kid is going to cost the Florida taxpayers a lot of money over his lifetime.
And the minute one of them turns 18, their entire arrest history will be wiped clean and they will be able to legally buy guns !!!
Guess they thought they couldn’t pass the background checks.
Hey, they are too young for that.
Find the parents if possible or grandparents or who ever they live with and toss them ALL in jail.
Officers quickly responded and saw the brothers running away
Of course, they were too young to drive...!
Any bets on the need to look?
It all makes sense, if law abiding citizens don’t have guns, then that would stop criminals from stealing or obtaining, or even making them.
Sarc/off
(Violating parole at age 14.)
Yep, off to a good start.

Just how are they carrying all that load?
robotic technology and CNC is so good now making a gun would be easy, and that is exactly what the criminals would do.
“Violating parole at age 14. This kid is going to cost the Florida taxpayers a lot of money over his lifetime.”
Kids like this seldom live to see 18. Chicago is filled with such “yutes.”
No names given. Probably DeShawn and Tyrone. Aspiring rappers.
An NBC puke affiliate....they’re not gonna give it away......
LE, Courts and MSM will protect that information at all costs.
Must be an error.
There are laws against stealing so it can’t have happened.
And they were fipsin’ to seriously think about taking community college courses to turn they life around... they good boys......
LOL!
