CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – Smash-and-grab thieves stole 31 guns from a Clarksville store on Christmas morning.

Officers arrived to Double Tap Tactical less than six minutes after the alarm sounded, but the suspects had already left.

The door was smashed in and several display cases had been emptied, according to police.

According to a press release, store security video shows three individuals in hooded sweatshirts smashing the glass front door and the display cases with hammers before filling several bags with firearms from the cases.

The thieves stole 25 semi-automatic pistols, 3 revolvers, and 3 rifles. The brand names included Glock, Smith & Wesson, Ruger, Walther, Taurus, Sig-Sauer, and several others.

Investigators seem to be making good strides in the case so far.

“Yesterday they contacted me and told me they found one of our store tags on a juvenile out in Hendersonville. So the firearms now have made their way from Clarksville out to Hendersonville Tennessee,” said Ron Berger, the owner of Double Tap Tactical.

Detectives are following several leads; the ATF is also working this case.

In the mean time, Berger is accessing the situation and hoping the loss isn’t going to take a huge toll on his business.

“I have already reached out to a couple attorneys and my accountant and after the first of the year we are going to figure it out. I’m not ready to say I’m going to quit, I don’t want to do that. It is not something that I am used to, or something these guys are used to. We don’t quit on things but if it’s not salvageable, it’s not salvageable,” said Berger.

If anyone has any information related to this incident, please call Detective Scott Beaubien at 931-648-0656 ext 5145, or call the CrimeStoppers TIPS Hotline at 931-645-TIPS (8477).
