Surveillance video obtained by WFTV shows more than a dozen people stealing weapons from a gun show at the Central Florida Fairgrounds in Orange County over the Fourth of July weekend.
According to Orlando police, nearly 20 guns were taken from one of the gun show booths after the show closed for the day on July 6.
Police said the weapons include handguns and rifles, and those guns are still on the streets.
WFTV's Kathi Belich learned the group of burglars got into the building through a door on the east end of the main building by smashing the glass after cutting through the chains locking the gate.
Police said about 12 young men raced in, grabbed the guns and fled. They said the burglars were in the building for about 32 seconds.
Belich was told that one of the Florida Highway Patrol officers working security off duty heard glass shattering on the property. The officer reportedly arrived at the targeted booth a few minutes after the burglars were gone.
Some of those believed to have been involved in the theft may have been caught roaming the fairgrounds property in recent months and banned from returning to the property.
Police said there have been no arrests in the theft and the investigation is ongoing.
