On Wednesday, Dec. 30, a vehicle plowed into Pioneer Valley Arms in East Longmeadow as a means to gain entry and rob the place, said co-owner Mike Meunier, who described the incident to MassLive as an “intentional strike.” The other owner Kendall Knapik who founded the shop.
Meunier said that whoever was in the store following the crash only stayed a short while before fleeing as the business’s burglar alarm sounded. No items were reported stolen from the Shaker Shops store on Shaker Road.
“Thank you to ELPD/ELFD for such a quick response,” a post to the shop’s Facebook page said. “Due to our security measures, thankfully nothing is missing.”
Pioneer Valley Arms was able to reopen on Thursday, Dec. 31.
Police are on the lookout for a suspect.
