Police are looking to the public for information after guns were stolen from Pawn King on Park Street.

The robbery happened just before 6 a.m. on Sunday morning.

Police are worried about the theft because of the potential danger the stolen guns could have in the wrong hands.

They are also investigating to see if the firearms were properly secured.

“Through our investigation, we are going to look at that. That falls under the chief firearms register’s office and they will be informed,” Dean Rae, Regina’s police deputy chief, said.

“The legislation is very clear on how they have to store their guns. My understanding is they do regular compliance audits and they go into these stores to make sure they’re being stored properly. My understanding [is] that [this] is occurring.”
