COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms
and Explosives (ATF) and the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) – the
trade association for the firearms industry – are announcing a reward for
information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the
burglary of Hesseling & Sons, located at 2818 Elida Rd., Lima, Ohio. ATF is offering a reward of up to $2,500,
which the NSSF will match for a total potential reward of $5,000.
On Nov. 22, 2018, at approximately 4 a.m., two unidentified
individuals entered the business and took approximately 30 handguns.
ATF is investigating this case jointly with the Allen County
Sheriff’s Office.
Anyone with information about this crime should contact ATF
at 1-800-ATF-GUNS (800-283-4867) or the Allen County Sheriff’s Office at
419-229-7867. Information can also be

initiative between the NSSF and ATF in which NSSF matches ATF rewards in cases
involving the theft of firearms from federally licensed retailers. ATF works closely with the members of the
firearms industry to curb the criminal acquisition and misuse of firearms
