The Zephyrhills Police Department posted surveillance video on its Facebook page that shows the blue truck smashing through the entrance of Sunshine State Armory early Sunday. As the driver backs out, three men wearing hoodies and masks dash in. The suspects were in and out of the gun store within 30 seconds, indicating that this was a planned event.
"We don't know that".
There was a smash and grab in Inverness, and another one in Tampa, and yet another heist in Lakeland.
"You can tighten security on anything, but somebody wants to get in, they'll get in", said Ed Hinchey, who works next door to the gun shop.

Sure, he would like to coach the Blues past the team that jilted him. "When we're going well, we're a tough team to beat". They also tied their franchise-best record of 50 road points, finishing the season with a 22-13-6 road record.
They then drove the stolen truck about a mile away from the crime, setting fire to it aside some railroad tracks alongside a mobile home park, and presumably switching cars.
The fire melted the VIN plate of the truck, but investigators used the license plate to determine the truck had been stolen from Pinellas County last week.
The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is offering a $2,500 reward to anyone with information that leads to the suspects' arrests.
