Police in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey are investigating after a group of teenagers allegedly robbed a Bucks County gun store, filling a vehicle with weapons, before leading police on a chase across state lines.
NBC10's Deanna Durante spoke to law enforcement officials in Bucks County who said that a 15-year-old boy and two 16-year-old boys, all from Philadelphia, have been arrested in this incident, but another two teens are still being sought.
According to police, the incident happened after the LugerMan.com gun shop, along the 1800 block of E. Old Lincoln Highway in Langhorne, was robbed on Monday night.
SkyForce10 caught images on Tuesday morning that seemed to show a second floor window broken out, where thieves may have gained access to the shop.

Officials said that officers arrived at the shop in response to an alarm, just as the teens' vehicle was pulling out of the gun shop's parking lot.
The officers engaged in a pursuit when the driver didn't stop for police, officials said, and the car was eventually disabled after it had been driven across a bridge over the Delaware River into New Jersey.
Law enforcement officials said, at that time, the teens in the vehicle fled the disabled car in Trenton.
While three of the teens are in custody, police are still searching for two more teens they believe were involved.
According to police, officers recovered a number of firearms from the vehicle the teens were driving -- which was reportedly stolen in Philadelphia earlier this month.
