Guns from Al's Army-Navy Store theft resurface
June 10, 2008|By Henry Pierson Curtis, Sentinel Staff WriterGuns stolen in last year's crash-and-grab burglary of Al's Army-Navy Store continue to be recovered in a trickle by Orlando police.
A convicted felon was the latest to be arrested in connection with the May 2007 crime on Orange Blossom Trail, in which burglars drove a stolen SUV through the front of the gun shop to steal 13 pistols and assault rifles.
Armed with three pistols, Louis Haskins jumped from a moving car early Saturday but failed to elude pursuing cops who caught him in the backyard of a house on Osceola Avenue, an arrest report states.
One of the weapons, a .44-Magnum revolver, was stolen from Al's a year ago, police spokeswoman Sgt. Barbara Jones said Monday.
A second weapon, a 9 mm. pistol, was stolen less than two weeks ago from a car in west Orlando. The third weapon, a .38-caliber revolver, had not been traced.
Haskins, 21, has been arrested nine times since turning 18, Orange County jail records show. He was charged Saturday with firearm possession by a convicted felon, carrying a concealed firearm, possession of a gun with obliterated serial numbers and resisting arrest.
After posting $4,350 bail, he was released from jail, records show.
The weapons still missing from last year's burglary include two AR-15 assault rifles. An Orlando resident, Antonio Lamont Scott, 21, faces trial later this year as a result of being arrested after the break-in with a .40-caliber Glock stolen in the crime, court records show.
