BURLINGTON, ON
The locale for this story is not Burlington – but it raises serious concerns over the number of fire arms in a residence – even if it was semi-rural.
On Oct 31st, 2017 between 6 a.m. and 12:25 p.m. a break in occurred at a Milton home in a semi-rural area on Trafalgar Road. (The exact location of the incident is not being released) It is not known how the entry to the home was gained.
Inside the residence, a door to a gun storage room was kicked in and several gun lockers were pried open. Seven handguns and an unknown amount of ammunition were stolen. The firearms and ammunition were safely stored. The persons responsible are believed to have fled in a vehicle due to the semi-rural location of the incident.
There is no suspect information and Halton Police are requesting the public’s assistance. If you have any information that could assist in this investigation please contact Detective Bob Lester of the 1 District Criminal Investigations Bureau at 905 825-4747 ext. 2455 or Crime Stoppers (See Something, Hear Something, Say Something) at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), through the web at www.haltoncrimestoppers.ca or by texting “Tip201″with your message to 274637 (crimes).
Seven hand guns in a residence raises eye brows and serious worry in the minds of police. Who ever did this break in knew the hand guns were there and would appear to have known that the house was unoccupied at the time of the break in. An unknown amount of ammunition for those hand guns was also stolen.
