Today, breaking news from the Wexford area unfolds as something alarming happened at the Big Buck Sport and Gun Store, leaving the community on high alert. In a daring and brazen attempt, two suspects tried to break into the store, setting off alarms and initiating a sequence of events that has law enforcement agencies on an intense manhunt.

The Northern Regional Police Department’s chief reported that the incident occurred shortly after midnight when the store’s alarm alerted officers to the attempted burglary. As the suspects made a hurried escape, their actions led to a collision with a police car, prompting a brief chase. Thankfully, no officers sustained injuries, but the suspects managed to evade capture by disappearing into the woods behind Eat ‘N Park.

Undeterred, the suspects seized another stolen car in an attempt to flee, only to crash once more. Abandoning the vehicle, they continued their escape on foot, prompting an extensive search operation. To aid in the identification and location of the suspects, a helicopter and a drone have been deployed by the police.

“This is a significant crime. If they were able to steal guns, it’s pretty brazen to do,” commented Chief John Sicilia, highlighting the audacity of the perpetrators. “Fortunately, we rely on a lot of mutual aid out here, and we have a great working relationship with our neighbors, and they stepped up and helped us out.”

Notably, this marks the second time that the Big Buck Sport and Gun Store has been targeted, with a break-in earlier this month resulting in stolen firearms. It remains uncertain if the same individuals are behind both incidents.

Chief Sicilia called upon the community to remain vigilant, urging residents to report any suspicious activity. “This is a significant crime, and we need the community’s assistance in solving it,” he emphasized.

As law enforcement intensifies efforts to locate the suspects, residents are advised to secure their homes by locking doors and exercising caution. The investigation is ongoing, with the hope that community cooperation will lead to the swift apprehension of those responsible. Any information about the suspects’ whereabouts should be reported promptly to 911.

In the face of these challenges, the Northern Regional Police Department is counting on the support of the community to ensure the safety and security of the Wexford area.
