COLUMBUS, Ohio — Police say burglars punched a hole in a concrete-block wall and stole about 80 weapons from a central Ohio firing range and gun-sales shop.

Jeff Robinson, a spokesman for the city of Powell in suburban Columbus, says it's important to make an arrest and get the guns off the street.

The Columbus Dispatch reports Thursday (http://bit.ly/yyNngJ) that an employee discovered the break-in when arriving at work Wednesday morning.

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are helping Powell authorities with the investigation.
