LIONSVILLE, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania state police are investigating a burglary at a gun range owned by a man jailed on weapons charges stemming from an apparent attempt to rescue a 16-year-old Wilkes-Barre girl in New York City.
Troopers from the Fogelsville barracks say John Cramsey’s High Ground Tactical gun range in Upper Milford Township was burglarized sometime between July 19 and 11:20 a.m. Tuesday when the break-in was discovered.
Cramsey was one of three Pennsylvanians arrested on weapons charges June 21 as they prepared to enter the Holland Tunnel in a truck carrying weapons. Cramsey, whose daughter died of a heroin overdose, had posted online he was heading to New York to “rescue” a girl whose friend had overdosed.
The girl the group was allegedly attempting to rescue, Jenea Patterson, previously had been at the center of an Amber Alert in 2015, when she was abducted in front of her Eastview Drive apartment by Walter McKinley Lewis.
Police say the burglars stole clothing, targets and accessories, but didn’t say any guns were stolen.
