PANAMA CITY — Police are investigating a burglary in which several firearms, including two AK-47s, were taken from a home, according to Panama City Police Department reports.
When officers arrived to the Clay Avenue home Friday at about 4 p.m., it appeared someone had broken into the home moments earlier. The victim said he just returned home to find his side door open and his back door kicked in. Several items were out of place, including a gun safe emptied out of five guns, according to PCPD incident reports.
“I looked through the house and noticed a large gun safe that appeared to have been pried open,” investigators wrote in their reports. “… It was discovered five long guns were stolen from the safe.”
Among other items taken from the home were a Winchester 1300 Defender pump action 12-gauge, an A M1 Grand 30-06, an AK-47 7.62-39 with a folding stock, an AK-47 762-39 with a wood stock, a Lee Enfield 303 caliber bolt-action rifle with a wood stock.
Only one serial number of the AK-47s was known to the owner, officers said.
In total, the guns were estimated to be valued at about $2,200. A black nylon sling valued at $40 and a tan laundry basket with gray handles also were also stolen.
The suspects are still at large in the incident, PCPD confirmed Monday afternoon.
