A Forsyth County gun store was burglarized after someone drove a car through the building, deputies said.

Deputies found a blue Dodge Durango in front of the Bulls Eye Marksman Gun Club on Thursday, spokesman Cpl. Pete Sabella said in a news release. The club is located at 6190 Parkway North Drive in Cumming.

The back of the building had a giant hole, where Sabella said the Dodge was used to break into the business.

The owner confirmed between 12 and 15 firearms were stolen.

The incident is under investigation by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Anyone with information should contact Det. Ben Norton with the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office’s Criminal Investigation Section at 770-781-2200.
