RAPID CITY, S.D. – Rapid City Police arrested three people Tuesday possibly involved in the theft of nearly a dozen guns at a Rapid City pawn shop Sunday and Monday.
Arrested and charged with possession of stolen property are 18-year-old Aloysuis Brave Hawk, 19-year-old Bison Little Spotted Horse and 20-year-old Blake Two Eagle; all of Rapid City.
The three people were arrested during a traffic stop near College Park in North Rapid Tuesday afternoon. RCPD Assistant Police Chief Don Hedrick said two of the guns stolen from the pawn shop were recovered during that stop.
The guns were stolen from a pawn shop on the 400 block of East North Street in two burglaries. The first was early Sunday morning; followed by another break-in Monday morning.
The special response team was then called in to a home on Madison Street as officers served a search warrant. During that search, two more guns from the pawn shop were recovered.
The home was targeted after police received a tip that some of the stolen guns were inside.
Seven guns remain unaccounted for.
