Investigators Seek Public's Help in Solving Crime,
Recovering Stolen Guns
BUFORD, Ga. – Special Agent in Charge Scott Sweetow of the
Atlanta Field Division, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
(ATF) today announced ATF is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information
leading to the arrest and conviction of the persons responsible for the theft
of firearms occurring at federal firearms licensee (FFL) Buck-N-Bass located at
4901 Summer Oak Drive, Gwinnett County, Ga. on Sept. 14.
"The burglary and theft of firearms from an FFL is a
very serious crime and a top priority for ATF," said Sweetow. "Having
investigated similar cases in the past, we know stolen firearms are used in
furtherance of drug- and gang-related activities and are utilized by violent
criminals to perpetrate additional crimes."
During the early morning hours on Sept. 14, Buck-N-Bass, was
burglarized by unknown persons. The suspect(s) used a stolen pickup truck to
smash into the front door and wall of the business gaining entry. Numerous
firearms consisting of handguns and rifles were stolen. There's no further
information or description of the suspect(s) or crime available at this time.
ATF and the Gwinnett Police Department are seeking the
public's assistance in identifying those responsible. Anyone with information
is encouraged to call ATF at (404) 379-1152 or call the ATF Hotline at
1-800-ATF-GUNS (800-283-4867). Callers can remain anonymous.
