"Certainly, any time a gun store is burglarized and a number of guns go missing, it’s going to be high profile," said Sgt. Jacob Pearce. "It’s going to be high on our priorities list as a department. It’s going to be definitely a concerning event that happens within the community."

Management at H&F Arms declined to comment Thursday.

Detectives are asking anyone with information about the case to please call the Mount Vernon District Station at 703-360-8400.
