The plan was simple: Steal tools and pawn them for money.
That’s what two men, 22 and 23, reportedly had in mind when they showed up to the Coastal Farm & Ranch store in Marysville, according to a police report. They allegedly took four nail guns, each worth over $400, walked out of the store and got into a Honda Civic.
They didn’t expect to be surrounded by about six customers with guns raised.
One customer was standing in front of the car, yelling at the alleged thieves to get out.
“He won’t shoot, run him over,” one of the suspects reportedly said.
The driver pulled forward, and the customer shot at the driver’s side front tire, according to documents. Another fired twice at a rear tire.
Someone shot at the car one more time as it left the parking lot, records show.
Marysville police found the car unoccupied about three blocks away, with two flat tires and the tools inside. Both men were apprehended after a search.
