Surveillance video, obtained by Channel 9 shows more than a dozen people stealing weapons from a gun show at the Central Florida Fairgrounds in Orange County over the Fourth of July weekend.
According to Orlando police, nearly 20 guns were taken from one of the gun show booths after the show closed for the day on July 6.
Police said the weapons include handguns and rifles, and those guns are still on the streets.
Channel 9's Kathi Belich learned the group of burglars got into the building through a door on the east end of the main building by smashing the glass after cutting through the chains locking the gate.
Police said about 12 young men raced in, grabbed the guns and fled. They said the burglars were in the building for about 32 seconds.
Belich was told that one of the Florida Highway Patrol officers working security off duty heard glass shattering on the property. She learned that he arrived at the targeted booth a few minutes after the burglars were gone.
Belich also learned that some of those believed to have been involved in the theft may have been caught roaming the fairgrounds property in recent months and banned from returning to the property.
Police would not tell Belich why the public wasn't warned about the stolen guns when the robbery happened. Police would only say that the investigation is continuing.
Then perps arrive. The Amish of course.
No leads, of course.
Years ago, I carried a .32, only if and when I was going somewhere where I felt I "might need it."
Now, I don't break wind outside without my Glock 27, spare 15 rd mag, cellphone and small can of bear spray.
I’d bet my house the 12 kids who did this were not white. Gang-sized teen smash-and-grabs aren’t what white kids do.
I get gas for the cars a half mile away and I’ve got two guns with me. In a relatively good area.
They were “Amish”, as seen in the video at link...
Amish is the new code here for ..............
The guy at the beginning is a guard? Looks creepy to me. Did he let the thugs in?
Love your tagline
“Teens” again, huh?
Years ago, I walked Status Green most of the time.
Now I’m Status Yellow, even at the house, Orange anytime I’m out, and ready to go Red at any time.
re: the good area. That’s where they mug, rob and murder.
Someone once asked John Dillinger why he robbed banks.
He replied; “Why do I rob banks? Because that’s where the money is!”
Misguided youts.
An off-duty FHP Trooper!
Complete with M-16 or AR-15!
Fantastic security they have there.

I caught a few of the Death Wish movies last week. :)
Teens Says it all in policorrectivity
He looks uneasy when he is coming up along the wall on the right. Maybe he heard them?
Nieens?
You describe how I exactly was, and are, now.
No alarm on door? No motion sensor on door?
Seemed like the yute were organized, in and out.
He had to cover 2 buildings, 50 meters apart.
Lookout said go. They did.
Dealers just left their stock lying around? They didn’t even use cable locks to make the perps have to work? Homo Depo does better with their gas grills and lawn mowers.
I practice my Bad Ass Face at least 2 minutes every other day!
