Deputies Seek Help Solving Molino Burglary, Finding Stolen Guns
October 5, 2009
Sheriff’s investigators are asking for the public’s help in solving a Molino burglary in which several guns were stolen.
Last month, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to reported burglary at mobile home on White Ash Road in Molino. The victim’s neighbor called deputies to report that the back door of the mobile home had been pried open; the neighbor was watching the home while the victim was out of town.
During the burglary, a gun safe containing several guns and a flat screen television were stolen. According to a police report on the incident, crime scene investigators attempted to recover fingerprints from the scene, and they were able to observe fresh tire marks from the back of the mobile home to the road. It was raining heavily at the time the crime was reported, so deputies were unable process the tire marks behind the trailer.
A Remington rifle, SKS assault rifle, Beretta 12 gauge shotgun, AK47, SK rifle, Colt .45 caliber pistol, Marlin rifle and the gun safe that contained the weapons were among the items reported missing.
Anyone with information about the crime is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 433-STOP or the Escambia Sheriff’s Office at 436-9620.

I had a 12 gauge Baretta shotgun stolen from my house in Walnut Hill. Wonder if it is the same one. Baretta guns are pretty rare, most people buy Browning or Remington.
SKS seller, I’ m sorry if I amde you mad, but the couple that shot their neighbor and then showed back up at the crime scene and William caught them, well they were idiots too, the 25 year-old “boy” that was shooting a gun off in front of a cop and he and the girl couldn’t even tell the same story. I mean no harm to you, but let’s face it there are some real idiots around, Nothing is a real surprize anymore.
That is quite the little personal arsenal. Could mean serious trouble in the wrong hands; hope they recover these weapons soon. Lesson learned; unless the safe weighs over 500 pounds it needs to be anchored to the floor. If they are not anchored down you are basically just providing a handy little carrying case for the theives to carry your stuff away.
GUS I AM THE OWNER OF THE SKS IN THE CLASSIFIEDS.MY GUN WAS BOUGHT FROM A REPUTABLE DEALER SEVERAL YEARS AGO.THE LAW IS MORE THAN WELCOME TO CHECK IT OUT.YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE A REAL IDIOT TO ADVERTISE A STOLEN GUN FOR SALE ON THE CLASSIFIEDS.
There is a SKS for sale on the classifieds ads, might be worth at least checking, if it’s not stolen the owner shouldn’t mind proofing it.
