GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ)- Green Bay Police continue the search for 20 guns stolen last from a home on Rosalie Lane last week.
The owner says he is missing handguns, shotguns and rifles. Police Captain Kevin Warych says it is unknown why the guns were taken, but there is concern.
“It is pretty scary to think that 20 guns are circulating out in the community that are not in the hands of the correct person.”
Police Officers are conducting interviews and collecting evidence in their investigation.
“Investigators have spoken to the home owner to backtrack who had authorization to that house when he was not there.”
Warych says gun owners should record their serial numbers for their weapons, and be sure to keep them locked, regardless of how many they have in the home.
“Gun locks or gun safes, just make sure the guns are locked up to prevent people from walking off with these guns.”
While 20 guns may seem high to some, Warych says there is no limit as to how many guns can be in a home.
“We believe in the Second Amendment. People can bare arms as much as they want. and they can collect as many guns as they feel they need to,” Warych said. “We do need to make sure that all of those guns are safe.”
The owner said he is considering offering a cash reward for the return of his guns.
