[...] since the break-ins started six weeks ago at the Houston area businesses, the thieves have scooped up 274 guns, including rifles and handguns.
The heists, which officials describe as well-orchestrated and possibly involving up to seven people, began Dec. 2 at a Cypress pawn shop.
[...] seven other shops have been hit, the most recent on Jan. 14.
The business’ burglary alarm alerted law enforcement officers.
Crime Stoppers will pay up to $5,000 for information that leads to the filing of felony charges or the arrest of the suspects.
