$10,000 ATF and Firearms Industry Offer Reward in North Las Vegas Firearms Theft


North Las Vegas, Nev.– The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) -- the trade association for the firearms industry -- has announced a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the theft of firearms from the Guns World LLC Federal Firearm Licensee (FFL)

ATF is offering a reward up to $5,000, which will be matched by the NSSF for a total reward of up to $10,000.

This reward is part of a larger national cooperative initiative between the NSSF and ATF in which the NSSF matches ATF rewards in cases involving the theft of firearms from federally licensed firearms retailers.  ATF works closely with members of the firearms industry to curb the criminal acquisition and misuse of firearms.

The suspects burglarized the shop around 3:00 A.M., September 12th.  Surveillance video showed the suspects driving a pick-up truck through the area.  The suspects then entered the premise (located at 955 West Craig, #110) through an adjacent unit. The suspects removed 9 handguns from the store and fled the scene at around 3:15 A.M. Three of the suspects were seen wearing dark colored hooded sweatshirts (one being an Oakland Raider sweatshirt), dark pants and masks. While a separate suspect, a Caucasian male of thin build, was seen wearing a T-shirt with a vertical American flag on the front, baseball cap, blue jeans, and dark sneakers. ATF and the North Las Vegas Police Department are investigating the burglary.

Anyone with any information about this crime should contact ATF at 1-(800)-ATF-GUNS (1-800-283-4867) or the North Las Vegas Police Department at (702) 633-1704 or visit www.reportit.com (link is external) or through the mobile “reportit” app, available both on Google Play and the Apple App Store.  All calls will remain confidential.
