A person or multiple people broke through the roof of a Tulsa pawn shop, rappelled down and stole up to 12 AR-15 rifles before fleeing.

Tulsa police were dispatched around 8 a.m. Wednesday to Second Hand Rose Pawn Shop, 2100 E. Third St., when the theft was discovered. It was not clear when the burglary occurred.

“Any weapon stolen is concerning. ... That’s not a normal thing to target,” Tulsa Police Sgt. Tim Means said. “Typically (what’s targeted is) a TV or something easy to sell.”

The burglar or burglars cut a hole in the roof of the pawn shop and rappelled in. The business’s alarms were malfunctioning, Means said, so it was not clear when the burglary occurred. Investigators suspect it occurred between Christmas Eve and Wednesday morning.
