INDIANAPOLIS – The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives (ATF) and the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) – the trade
association for the firearms industry – announced a reward for information
leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the theft of
firearms from the Indy Trading Post, a federal firearms licensee located in
Indianapolis.
ATF is offering a reward of up to $5,000, which will be
matched by the NSSF for a total possible reward of $10,000.
At approximately 3:00 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2016, two
individuals broke into the business, located at 2851 South Madison Avenue, by
ramming a stolen vehicle through the side of the building. These individuals then stole approximately 17
handguns and two long guns. ATF is
working with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department to investigate the
incident.
Anyone having information about this burglary should contact
ATF at 1-800-ATF-GUNS (800-283-4867) or Crime Stoppers at (317) 262-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential. Anonymous tips may also be provided to ATF by
using the ReportIt app available for both Apple and Android mobile devices.
This reward is part of a larger national cooperative
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.
