Two gun stores in the area were broken into less than two days apart.

The first burglary happened Saturday night at Dukes Sport Shop on New Butler Road in Shenango Township, Lawrence County.

Police said several suspects went through the front door and left with an assortment of firearms.

Early Monday morning, police were called to Seconds Count Firearms at the corner of North Diamond Street and North Pitt Street in downtown Mercer.

During Monday’s incident, police say three males pulled up to the store around 5:15 a.m. and waited several minutes before crashing a car through the display window.

Five suspects got away with more than 20 guns, officials say.

It’s not clear if these break-ins are connected. The stores are about 30 minutes away from each other.

Three suspects believed to be involved in the Mercer robbery were taken into custody in Pittsburgh Monday night after ramming two police cars .
