ATF and Firearms Industry Offer $5,000 Reward in Reno Firearms Theft

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 Juggernaut Arms 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 Juggernaut Arms located at 240 Freeport Blvd, Sparks, Nevada.  The suspects used a sledgehammer to break the front glass of the

business and enter the premise.  The suspects stole 14 firearms before fleeing the scene. The vehicle pictured above is a vehicle of interest.  The vehicle in question is believed to be a dark colored Dodge Journey.  ATF and the Sparks Police 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.
