Thieves smashed their way into a south Alabama gun store, stealing more than a dozen firearms.

The break-in happened minutes before midnight Tuesday at Lock-n-Load on County Road 17 in Enterprise, said Lt. Billy Haglund. Officers arrived on the scene to find the front door of the business had been shattered.

Enterprise police detectives obtained surveillance footage which showed five masked intruders stealing guns from the business. Haglund said roughly 14 weapons were taken.
