Duluth police warn hunters not to leave guns in vehicles

The Duluth Police Department is reminding hunters to refrain from storing guns in vehicles.

Police have received two reports of stolen firearms at night in the past week, one involving a hunter who had packed a vehicle the night before leaving to hunt.

Hunting season can increase instances of guns being left in vehicles, police said.

In this case a shotgun was taken from a vehicle on the 200 block of North 11th Avenue West through a window the prowler broke out.

In the other gun theft this week, a rifle was taken from a home on the 700 block of West Skyline Drive, according to police.

Correction: An earlier version of this report said guns were taken from vehicles in two incidents this week.
