A man and woman are in custody, accused of backing an SUV through a Tulsa gun store and stealing rifles and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.

Police say Martinez and Fryman smashed a stolen Chevy Trailblazer through Action Arms gun shop near 54th and Mingo on November 10. They grabbed 11 rifles and the ammunition, transferring the stolen goods to another vehicle and driving off, police say. 

A tip led Tulsa police to arrest Martinez and Fryman. An arrest report states Fryman admitted she stole the Chevy Trailblazer and helped plan the burglary. She told officers Martinez used the vehicle to smash through the side of the building to get inside.
