ATF, Jefferson COunty Sheriff's Office and the Firearms
Industry Seek the Public's Help in FOP Range Firearms Theft
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms
and Explosives (ATF) in conjunction with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office
and the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the trade association for
the firearms industry, are offering a reward for information leading to the
arrest and conviction for those responsible for the theft of firearms from FOP
Range Incorporated, a federal firearm licensee (FFL).
On June 6, 2017, FOP Range Incorporated, 91-1st Street,
Pleasant Grove, was burglarized and approximately seven firearms were reported
stolen to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office. ATF industry operations
investigators are in the process of conducting an inventory to determine the
exact number of firearms stolen.
ATF is offering the reward in the amount of up to $2,500,
which will be matched by the NSSF for a total reward of up to $5,000. This
reward is part of a larger national cooperative initiative between the NSSF and
ATF in which NSSF matches ATF’s reward in cases involving the theft of firearms
from federally licensed firearms retailers. ATF works closely with members of
the firearm industry to curb the criminal acquisition and misuse of firearms.
Anyone with information about this crime should contact the
ATF at (800) ATF-GUNS (1-800-283-4867) or the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office
(205) 325-1450. Information can also be
sent to ATF via the mobile app www.reportit.com (link is external) by using the
Nashville field division as the location.
ATF is the lead federal law enforcement agency with
jurisdiction involving firearms and violent crimes, and regulates the firearm
industry. More information about ATF and its programs is available at
