ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms
and Explosives (ATF) is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information
leading to the recovery of stolen firearms or the arrest and conviction of
those responsible for the burglary of Millville Gun and Rod, a federal firearm
licensee, in Millville, Minnesota.
Approximately 80 firearms were reported stolen from the
business on Sept. 2, 2016. Often times, stolen firearms end up in the hands of
violent criminals. ATF’s priority is to recover stolen firearms before they can
be used in other crimes.
Through investigative efforts, ATF, together with the
Wabasha County Sheriff’s Office, Winona County Sheriff’s Office, the Winona
Police Department and the Winona County Attorney’s office, has recovered
several of the stolen firearms.
ATF and its local law enforcement partners are asking the
public to provide any information that may aid the recovery of the remaining
missing firearms.
Tips may be submitted by calling 1-800-ATF-GUNS (283-4867)
or Crime Stoppers 507-457-6530, by visiting www.reportit.com (link is

Google Play and the Apple App Store. All information may be given anonymously.
Contact information can also be provided, should you wish to do so.
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
