MACON, Georgia (41 NBC/WMGT) – Thieves stole more than 64 handguns and rifles during a smash and grab robbery, Thursday.

The burglary happened around 12:30 a.m., at Classic Firearms on Columbus Road.

The heist was caught on surveillance video tape.

The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident. A spokesperson for the sheriff’s office, Sean Defoe, says one of the four suspects removed a metal mesh screen that covered the front door and then used a cement block to smash through the door’s glass.

They were spotted in a white 1990’s Ford Crown Victoria, with a dark color stripe on the side.
