The Thomas County Sheriff's Office in Georgia has arrested four teenagers in connection with the theft of several dozen guns from Kevin's Guns & Sporting Goods in Tallahassee.

Capt. Steve Jones, spokesman for the Sheriff's Office, said the suspects were arrested over the past few days, all on charges of theft by receiving stolen property.

"This thing is active," Jones said of the investigation. "It's been around the clock the last 72 hours. And it's just been one tip after another coming in."

One of suspects, Derontae Kerbo, 17, is considered an adult under Georgia law and is being held in the Thomas County Jail. He was arrested Saturday on outstanding charges unrelated to the break-in in Tallahassee.

The other three suspects, who were not named, were ordered detained today during their first appearance in juvenile court, Jones said.

The brazen overnight theft of handguns and rifles happened April 22 at the store's location on Capital Circle Northeast.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said 46 firearms were stolen in the break-in. The ATF and the National Shooting Sports Foundation offered a $10,000 reward for information.

Jones said investigators recovered two guns from the burglary at Kevin's and another stolen in Thomasville, Georgia, more than a year ago. He told news outlets he worried the other firearms may have already found their way into nearby communities.

Kevin's issued a statement on Facebook after the theft asking anyone with information to contact authorities.

"Kevin's remains strong and tough, and we've endured over the last 40 years," the store said in a Facebook post. "However, we had a terrible robbery last night ... and we are working with the police and ATF as they investigate."
