LITTLETON, Colo. — Numerous handguns and rifles were taken during a burglary at a Littleton gun store early Tuesday morning, according to the Littleton Police Department (LPD).

Officers with LPD responded to the Triple J Armory at 8152 Southpark Lane just after 5 a.m. after the burglary alarm at the store sounded, according to police. The store is located south of West Mineral Avenue but north of County Line Road.

When they arrived, officers determined that someone had forced entry into the business, but no one was there when they arrived, police said in a release.
