Niagara police say a man broke into the NAS Guns and Ammo store in Fonthill, southeast of Hamilton, Wednesday night and stole 21 handguns.

They say the guns were worth $20,000 and that no ammunition was taken. Police say the stolen guns were equipped with trigger-locking devices.

In a release issued yesterday, police say there was a lot of traffic in the area at the time, and someone must have noticed what they call the "very obvious efforts of the suspect."

They say investigators are looking for a "white or grey racing style motorcycle" that was used by the suspect in the crime.
