HOUSTON -- Police released surveillance video Wednesday of two men accused of breaking into a southwest Houston gun store by crawling through the ceiling.
Investigators said the men targeted SOG Armory and Carter's Country in the early morning hours of Jan. 21, but only managed to get inside one of the gun shops.
The men went to a pharmacy located next door to Carter’s Country after they failed to get inside SOG Armory’s front door, police said.
"They came in through the roof and crawled into the air conditioner ducts and into the crawl space in the ceiling," said Officer Ken Kalka.
Video shows a man wearing a head lamp and attempting to get into a safe in the drug store before he punches through the wall of one office to get to the gun shop, police said.
That is where police said more than 20 small-caliber pistols were stolen.
Investigators said they still are not sure how the criminals got on the roof. Police said no tools or finger prints were found. The clothing worn by the suspects seen in the video is the best link between the two crimes, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Houston police.
