“They used minors to do it, and frankly, it's pretty clever,” Oltmann said. “They hit five stores in less than two weeks.”

If they are arrested, the minors are sent to the juvenile system and emerge with clean records upon their 18th birthday, he said.

Oltmann said the modus operandi is to have two stolen cars driven by adults, with underage confederates. The thieves use one car to smash through the windows or entryways to the store. Then, the minors rush in and grab whatever they can until they make their escape in the second car.

As of publication, Oltmann said he still has not spoken with law enforcement leadership about the two incidents.

“They hit the West store, and here's the bad part: it took 73 minutes for a police officer to roll up on scene from a robbery from a gun store,” he said.

The show host said he believes the people who hit his stores were connected to the Venezuelan gangs who took over apartment buildings in Aurora.
