CHANDLER, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities say a man and woman have been arrested for allegedly stealing more than 20 handguns from a Chandler store.
Chandler police say 32-year-old Miguel Gomez and 26-year-old Alicia Gonzalez remain jailed on suspicion of first-degree burglary, criminal damage and theft of means of transportation.
Police say Gomez and Gonzalez were in a stolen pickup truck that crashed through the front entrance of a store that sells firearms about 11 p.m. Monday.

The two suspects then allegedly shattered the glass on the display cases, took 21 handguns and fled on foot to a nearby farm.
They were picked up by a woman in a truck.
A police patrol officer arrived on scene and that led to a high-speed pursuit that ended on the Gila River Indian Community south of Phoenix.
