Brenda Tosh, 28, Kansas City, Kan., pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring to steal guns from a federally licensed firearms dealer.

In her plea, she admitted that she and a co-defendant crashed a car into a Cabela’s store in Kansas City, Kan. They took long guns from the firearms section of the store and placed them into a shopping cart. According to court records, the guns included two 12-gauge shotguns, a .22-caliber rifle, a .308-caliber rifle and a .223-caliber rifle.

Law enforcement officers arrived and arrested Tosh before she could leave the store. The co-defendant was arrested later, after fleeing the store and stealing a car from a nearby dealership.

Co-defendant Kyle Mendez, 29, Kansas City, Kan., is scheduled for sentencing Nov. 26.
