It is Bleu Lozere who revealed the information. On the night of Wednesday 1is to Thursday January 2, a gun store was broken into in the Gard. A theft that is out of the ordinary given that the goods targeted were of course weapons…

This is the armory Baumel, to Marguerittes. A well-known brand. And well supplied.


But beyond this information, everything else, or almost everything else, is vague. France 3 contacted the gunsmith who replied… that the gun shop had not been broken into! “It’s the pet store where there was a theft in the night. Besides, we are in the process of taking inventory,” reacted the management,Occitanie News was unable to reach Friday January 3. The armory is in fact in the same building as a pet store. The inventory was planned for a long time and announced to customers. The store was therefore closed on January 2.

What weapons were stolen?

Except that France Blueand other media, nevertheless speak of several dozen stolen weapons. including weapons of war, the infamous Kalashnikovs. Which did not fail to surprise, in particular, the hunters, regulars of the store.

According to the company's website, the Baumel armory sells hunting rifles and rifles, trap rifles, pistols, revolvers and sports shooting rifles. No AK-47… But their equivalent under other brands, Smith and Wesson or Hammerli semi-automatic rifles. Even replicas: AKS-74Ns. In any case, the prospect of finding these weapons in the wild is not much more encouraging.

There was indeed a burglary

Contacted by Occitanie Newsthe gendarmerie did not respond. As for the Nîmes public prosecutor's office, it remains almost silent, ensuring that “as it stands”, there is “no other communicable element than the reality of the burglary and the ongoing investigation”.

Weapons were therefore stolen. But which ones, how many, by whom and how? This remains to be determined. “They cut out the armored door which is around ten centimeters plus the grilles that were behind it,” explains a source close to the file to TF1which specifies that the gendarmes are looking for four men.
