Up To $2 Million In Guns Stolen From Gilroy Home

GILROY (AP) -- Thieves invaded a Gilroy home and held the owner for hours before fleeing with a gun collection valued at up to $2 million, according to Santa Clara County authorities.

Police and neighbors said that three masked men invaded the Gilroy home of Gary Wise on Sunday night. They tied up and beat the owner.

The men finally got the security code to his gun safe and stole dozens of weapons.

A neighbor says Wise got free at about 6 a.m. Monday and went to her home.

Authorities say the thieves also stole the man's pickup truck, which was later found torched.
