“I think it’s great that we have the technology to track them down,” said Tim Ostrander Owner of Summit Armory.
On Wednesday authorities arrested 19-year-old Zaveeyon Teasley for the brazen break-in and now we’re learning how investigators put the pieces together.
According to a federal affidavit, just two days after the smash and grab Cleveland police found Teasley sleeping in another stolen car. Officers found a handgun and the registration number matched a gun stolen from the Summit Armory. He was charged with carrying a concealed weapon and receiving stolen property but he bonded out.
The key to cracking this case was DNA. Authorities found DNA on a hammer used to smash a display case at the Armory. That was a match for the 16-year-old and DNA left on a lighter found inside the stolen Kia at the gun shop was a match for Teasley.
