Guns, Ammo Stolen from Major Laurens Co. Shop

Over 50 guns and numerous boxes of ammunition were stolen Friday night from a major Laurens County wilderness shop.

Lawson's Outfitters on Highway 76 in Laurens County in the Upstate of South Carolina has been burglarized 3 times within the past month. Friday night was the first time the robbers got away with merchandise, however.

Lawson's is a popular outdoor, wilderness, gun, and ammo shop in the Upstate. Customers like the variety one can find by browsing Lawson's considerable collection of handguns, rifles, shotguns, as well as outdoor accessories.

Police say that surveillance video of the burglary gives them a fairly clear picture of the description of the perpetrators, but it was blood left on the scene that investigators say can possibly lead them straight to the criminals.

Store owner Danny Lawson states that in spite of the best video and alarm equipment money can buy, the crooks persisted until they found a glitch in the system.

'I guess I'm going to have to start sleeping up here,' he said.
