a brazen burglary.. caught on camera. a gang of men bust through the a brazen burglary caught on camera. a gang of men bust through the wall of a gun shop with a truck then load up with an arm full of guns. good afternoon everyone i'm linda hurtado thanks for joining us hillsborough deputies are going over surveillance tape and there are a lot of people to try to identify. fox 13 aaron mesmer joins us from the arms company at waters avenue and dale mabrey highway.

pro folks fegsal job. do they know how many guns were stolen? >> linda, right now we're hearing the number is 40. but right now investigators are actually in there doing inventory to see if that in fact the number of weapons that were stolen from the store early this morning. you can see they've booed boarded up the front of tampa arms company of guns and ammo. right now the investigation is really just gettin under way. and calling a brazen as we just did might be an understatement. check out surveillance video. again a truck or an suv rams through the fro company. and then as many as a dozen criminals run into the store. they all appear to be wearing same masks and same hooded sweatshirts. it takes them just 60 seconds or so to clear guns off the shelves and out of the cases. hillsborough deputies say like we said 40 guns are stolen before they all got out of there. investigators spent morning trying tri-iggy to piece together what happened and who might be involved. this say this was well thought out crime it was a quick operation. the owner understandably shocked

himself and his employees. >> it's devastating because, it's not i'm not really worried about me i'm worried about the other guys that work for me. we're going to have my partner of course and three other employees that count n this for extra money. full time gun smith and a two other gentleman that work here part-time on weekends. they are out of a job for now, you know, and any plans of holiday money that they might have had are gone. and this is at third time since the end of last year that a gun store in one was in tampa bay. one in tampa, other was in pasco county. and both cases, criminals busted through a concrete wall to get inside. as we said detectives are in there right now, checking inventory. that is an exhaustive practice that can take hours of literally making sure serial numbers of guns that are there checking those serial numbers. and figuring out which ones are no longer inside the store. meantime authorities don't want any of these weapons of course to get into the wrong handsthe

should either call the sheriff's office or call crime stoppers. linda. yeah. 40 guns as you said could potentially be in our neighborhoods. very important to identify these suspects. >> thank you, aaron. and overnight fire guts a south plant city home it looks suspicious after flames are anti trump graffiti found on home. luckily homeowner and his family were not home when that fire broke out. but they lost everything. fox 13 ken suarez has their story. just a really devastating morning for young plant city family of 4. that is now homeless. it started last night when they went to lakeland to house sit for her mom. they got a call in middle of night 3 o'clock in morning. the house is on fire, and it also has graffiti inside, outside. and elsewhere. anti trump graffiti and also racist graffiti. really tough situation for the smith family. this is matthew and britney and little braden. when you got that call matthew,

immediately? >> hoped that everybody was safe and upset that something like this happened to me. >> but no one was home at the time? >> correct. >> why would it happen to you, do you think? >> could have been because of my support of america. or support of trump. and just, couldn't tell. >> how strong of a supporting family for trump were you? you know there is something you did that was so public that it might ticked smbd off or? >> we, we've been supported trump since he started running for office. we never made it public. we never had sign in our front yard. no one really knew that we were pro trump. but i guess somebody did. i guess matthew was on facebook. >> yes. he would talk, you know to people. but nothing bad. he wouldn't say you know, bad things or neither would the other people. there was, you know there's one person in maryland that he talks

>> so you have to pull this together. you've got a family. you don't have a house. what about insurance? >> there's no insurance. >> we were, we were in process of foreclosure on our home. so you know no insurance on it. okay. so investigation is really under way at this point. we don't have those kinds of details i want to add in one more thing. and that is that matthew is a navy veteran. also in front of his house he has american flag and flag. so not only happens when a young family but people that were very supportive of the military and of is the u.s.. back to you. thank you, ken. >> wow. developing this afternoon wildfires fueled by strong winds have forced thousand thousands to evacuate damaged hundreds of building in southeast. the fires have been burning for weeks in tennessee, georgia and north carolina. you're probably seen this video. it's from gatlinburg. about 14,000 people have been evacuated from that area.

the flames are also coming dangerously close to that area as largest theme park that dolly wood resort. and a nearby aquarium where thousands of animals were house. an ongoing drought and high winds have made it difficult tore crews to put out those flames >> in the past 24 hours we experienced a wind storm that was up to 80 miles an hour when you think about that that's hurricane level type of winds. and we also sustained at least 30 to 40 miles per hour wind that was sus of time for over 12 hours. when you couple that with the drought that we've been experiencing for the last two months, sometimes we have dead trees in the park. i mean everything was almost like a perfect storm. that wind later knocked down power lines. which started even more fires in gatlinburg. when you see this wreck age it's really hard to imagine that anyone could have survived this plane crash. but six people made it out of that alive.

could manage for the entire montana. it looks like we're pretty much going to wrap it up with that 1 hundredth of an inch of rain visible satellite loop again today, you can see more of that southerly wind you can see how clouds just riding up from from south to north a bit on breezy side that wind starting to pick up yesterday because we've got relatively lower pressure to our north. ridge is working its way away from us. higher pressure. that squeeze play. that's helped to bring winds up curreny about 20 miles an hour down in sarasota. and there is some rain on skytower radar. problem is, it's about 5060 miles out into the gulf of mexico. in order not heading towards us basically working its way on to north. we will remain primarily rain free as we go through day again for today. look at the temperature at noon. we're already 83 degrees. the dew point is at 65. yesterday that was down into the low 50s.

moisture over the state. humidity is currently at 54 percent. winds coming up south about 12 miles an hour. 86 right now over in brandon. wesley chapel 80. just look at the map and how many temperatures you see in the 80s right now. pretty amazing how big of a warm up we've had across the state. and then the dew points, which is the measure the amount of moisture in the air when these numbers get into the 60s, starts to feel a little more uncomfortable. you look down to our south places like wauchula point of 70. even up towards brooksville dew point of 70. that's a very moist air. that's why it really is kind of muggy outside right now. now we've got front to our north. this basically going to kind of continue to work et cetera way on to the east. just kind of run out of gas. but on the backside of this, you see this the shaded area here. that's an area that as we go through the rest of today. it looks like we will see more and more thunderstorm activity as yet another front is working

see strong storms in that area. then they had the rain, some rain yesterday across portions of tennessee and through georgia. and they really need the rain. we've had really an extreme drought across much of georgia into eastern tennessee. back into mississippi, and alabama. and they will continue to be dealing with this really over the next several weeks or months. it's going to take some time to rebound from that. but good news is as this cold front comes through rain through these areas we go through next couple of days. watch front number one. that's the first front. just runs out of gas. fizzles out. another front pushes in to southeast. could see strong storms across much of the south. but as that front continues to work its way down over us, again, it's just kind of running out of gas. we will see yeah we'll see couple showers as we get into thursday. but really we could use much more than just a few showers. 85 degrees for today.

on muggy side as well. it will continue to be mild night for tonight with low temperature of 69. again for tomorrow partly cloudy we stay humid. that daytime high of 83. on water winds are out 10 to 15 knots. moderate chop on the bay. high tide comes up 3:09 this afternoon. here's your seven-day forecast, even though we've got cold front coming through. really not whole lot cooler behind that front. we're drop temperatures a few degrees. but still probably going to running above normal all the way at least through the middle of next week, linda. all right, thanks, jim. there's a new deadly drug on the streets.

degrees over clearwater beach. notice winds south, southeast 14 miles an hour. move away from coastline, you have a little more sun and lot more heat as well. look at the temperature right now over in riverview right now. sitting at 86 degrees. 86 degrees at the noon hour. this late in the year, that's pretty ridiculous. visible satellite loop. looking at more clouds kind working there way up from the south up to north. that. wind that your honor brought back over us a more and more clouds a couple more showers yesterday mainly to our south. no n that made its way over pus we've seen some rain on skytower radar all out into into the gulf of mexico. this is probably about 50 to 60 miles out into the gulf. notice the motion. its moving to the north. so it's not going to working its way overland. we remain rain free again for today. we can certainly use the rain. we've really had a very dry

at the noon hour, here in tampa we're at yeah degrees. westchase han 81 along with new tampa. but 86 over in brandon. plant city at 84. downtown st. petersburg, that's just the influence of the cooler waters around you you're at 76 degrees. you move away from coast a little bit and pinellas park currently sits at 81 degrees. 79 for brooksville. weeki wachee 82. over in dade city, and bushnell both at 82 degrees as well. and lower 8 and throughout interior, sebring you're at 82. lakeland 82. bartow currently sits at 81 degrees. and then the big key to all of this has just been that humidity. was it dew points coming back up into the 60s yesterday. we started out in the low to mid 50s. i was talking to actually felt kind of nice outside still. but as we went through the day yesterday, these numbers came right back up. and in fact, as you look to our south, places like wauchula,

right now. that very moist air has worked its way right back over the state giving that very muggy feel to the air as you step outside. sop watch a couple cold fronts this first front pushing through much the deep south. big storms yesterday. but as it works its way into the carolinas, really starting to just kind of fizzle out. this orange shade yellow shade. that's area where we could see some tronger storms as we go through this afternoon. in fact already starting to see few storms developing right there acros texas into louisiana. that's in advance of the next front. that one will work its way on to the east. that should actually move down over us as we head into thursday. so for today weaver got scattered clouds. front number one just kind of fizzles out here's front number 2 moving into the southeast giving some showers and thunderstorms across much of the south. in fact many areas can really use the rain across georgia, and portions of tennessee. back into alabama.
