A pistol and a shotgun were stolen from two separate cars in Trumbull just minutes apart, police say.

Both of the thefts happened on Nov. 16, police say.

A 9mm Glock was stolen from a car parked near LA Fitness at Trumbull Westfield Mall at 2:13 p.m., and a shotgun was reported stolen from a car in a separate incident across town at 2:59 p.m., police say.

Police say the pistol was inside a locked glovebox and when the owner returned to their vehicle, they noticed several items were missing including the gun.

Police say the shotgun was stolen from a car parked in a residential driveway off White Plains Road.

The victim reported they noticed the trunk of their car was open, and their Sampiyon-Panzer shotgun was missing.

Police urge all residents to store their firearms properly.
