RENO, 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 RAC Guns & Ammo Federal Firearm Licensee (FFL).
ATF is offering a 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 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.
On September 29, 2018, four suspects burglarized RAC Guns &
Ammo, located at 3030 Mill Street, Reno, Nevada. The suspects used a sledgehammer to break the
front glass of the
business and enter the premise. Using a duffle bag, they stole 69 firearms
before fleeing the scene. ATF and the Reno 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 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.
