One man from Washington and another from Maryland have been arrested in connection with the June 13 burglary of Green Top Sporting Goods in which 34 handguns were stolen.

The Hanover County Sheriff's Office arrested Michael A. Henderson, 21, of Bowie, Md., and Leon E. Waddy, 21, of Washington on charges of burglary, grand larceny, possession of burglary tools and conspiracy.

Henderson is being held in federal detention in Maryland and Waddy is in federal custody in Washington, police said. Both could face additional federal charges.

The break-in occurred early in the morning at Green Top, at 10193 Washington Highway, just north of Virginia Center Commons.

About 12:30 a.m., surveillance video showed two robbers wearing dark clothing that covered most of their bodies smashing into glass cases at the front of the store and stealing 34 semi-automatic handguns of various calibers.

Deputies arrived three minutes after the alarm went off, but the thieves were gone, a spokesman for the Hanover Sheriff's Office said.

But don't they know that guns are illegal in DC, and damned hard to carry in Maryland???

Where is Mikey Bloomberg when you need him, these guysobviously meant to take them to New York.

It'll probably come out that they were some of his "investigators" making a straw burglary to show how we don't secure our guns enough. :)

Oh, wait a minute. You know I'm going to say it:

Then the ATF will probably come out and say Bloomberg's straw burglaries are interfering with their own thefts of firearms. :D
