Five shotguns, one pistol and seven rifles were reported stolen from Cash American Pawn in Duncanville.
– A Plano man is facing up to 10 years in prison for stealing more than a dozen guns from a local pawn shop.
According to the complaint, on Jan. 30, Christian Alfredo Benitez-Ramirez allegedly entered Cash America Pawn in Duncanville, walked to the back of the store, reached over the counter and attempted to open the sliding door of a firearm display cabinet. When the door didn't open, Benitez-Ramirez then hoisted himself over the counter and attempted to gather an armful of firearms from a rack on the wall. He saw that the firearms were attached to the wall via a cable, whipped out a pocketknife, and attempted to cut the cords.
When that didn't work, Benitez-Ramirez pulled the cable and attachment from the wall, gathered up an armful of firearms, and – with additional guns still attached to the cable dragging behind him – exited the store. He loaded the firearms into a Honda CR-V, the complaint said. Employees said when they saw Benitez-Ramirez behind the counter, they asked if he worked there – he said he did. When they didn't recognize him, they pressed the store's panic buttons. Benitez-Ramirez was charged and arrested at his residence on Feb. 6.
