A would-be burglar or burglars came up empty handed late Friday night in an attempt to burglarize Wayne's Guns in Gardnerville.

Douglas County Sheriff's Sgt. Jim Richardson said the front door of the store was damaged just before midnight Friday.

He said deputies responding to the Haas Center store for an alarm call found the door kicked in and could see that someone had tried to lift guns off the racks, but they were well secured and the burglar or burglars got away with nothing.

Anyone with information can call the sheriff's office at 782-9900.
