Juveniles Charged with Gun Store Burglary

Garland Police Detectives have charged two juveniles with Burglary of a Building in connection with a burglary at Lateral Limits gun store.

On Friday, September 26, 2025, just after 3:00 a.m., Garland officers responded to a burglary attempt at 5219 Broadway Boulevard. When officers arrived, they discovered a large moving truck had been driven into the front of the storefront.

Surveillance footage showed several individuals involved in the incident, who eventually fled the location in multiple passenger cars. No property was taken from the business.

A Garland detective assigned to the case developed crucial leads and learned that a vehicle used in the Garland burglary was also connected to an incident in Lewisville later that same morning, where two juveniles were arrested. Through investigative efforts, the detective gathered sufficient evidence to charge a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old, both from Dallas, with Burglary of a Building.

Both Juveniles are currently being held at the Denton County Juvenile Detention Center. Their names and photos will not be released due to their age.

This remains an active investigation. Detectives are continuing to work with surrounding agencies to identify additional suspects, and further charges may be filed.

Anyone with information about this case is urged to contact the Garland Police Department at 972-485-4840. Tips may also be submitted anonymously to Garland Crime Stoppers at 972-272-8477 (TIPS) or online at www.garlandcrimestoppers.org
