PITTSTON TWP. — State police at Wyoming are investigating a burglary at Advanced Arms LLC, where multiple firearms were stolen.

The firearms dealer is on South Township Boulevard, also known as the Pittston Bypass.

State police said multiple people forced their way inside the store at about 11:30 p.m. Monday and sped away in a light colored SUV.

A board covered a shattered front window at the store Tuesday morning.

Owners Chris and Mary Scoda could not be immediately reached for comment.

A message on the store’s website stated: “Due to unforeseen circumstances and vandalism, we will be closed for a few days for repairs. We anticipate reopening before the week expires. Our apology for any inconvenience and your patience would be greatly appreciated.”

A similar message was heard when a reporter called the store Tuesday.
