ATF, Memphis Police Department and the firearms industry
seek the public’s help in the Range USA firearms theft
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms
and Explosives (ATF) in conjunction with the Memphis Police Department 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 Range USA,
a federal firearm licensee (FFL).
On July 1, 2017, Range USA, 2770 Whitten Road, Memphis, was
burglarized and approximately 43 firearms were reported stolen to the Memphis
Police Department. 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 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 Memphis Police Department (901)
528-CASH. Information can also be sent to ATF via the mobile app

the location.
