BARBOURSVILLE, W.Va. — The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the National Shooting Sports Foundation
(NSSF) – the trade association for the firearms industry – have announced a
reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those
responsible for the theft of firearms from Sportsmen’s Gun and Pawn, a federal
firearms licensee.
ATF is offering a reward of up to $2,500, which will be
matched by the NSSF for a total possible reward of up to $5,000.
On May 15, 2017, unknown persons burglarized Sportsmen’s Gun
and Pawn, located in Barboursville, by forcibly gaining entry into the store
and stealing more than 100 firearms.
Anyone with information about this crime should contact ATF
at 1-800-ATF-GUNS (800-283-4867), email ATFTips@atf.gov (link sends e-mail),
contact ATF through its website at www.atf.gov/contact/atftips, or texted to
63975 using the code ATFLOU. Tips can also be submitted by using the Reportit®
app, available from both Google Play and the Apple App Store, or by visiting
www.reportit.com (link is external). All tips will be kept confidential.
The reward is part of a larger national cooperative
initiative between the NSSF and ATF in which NSSF matches ATF reward 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.
