Humble, Texas – The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives and the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the trade
association for the firearms industry have announced a reward of up to $4,000
for information leading to the arrest of the suspect(s) responsible for
burglarizing Frontier Pawn and Gun, located at 1301 1st Street, Humble, Texas.
On September 30th at 4:30am, a male broke into Frontier pawn
and Gun, while the store was closed. The suspect gained entry by cutting into
the sheetrock, and once inside, used a hammer to shatter a display case. The
suspect stole two (2) rifles. The suspect is described as a “skinny” male,
wearing all black clothing. At this time, no photos of the suspect are
available.
“Recovering these
firearms quickly before additional crimes are committed remains a top priority
for ATF,” said ATF Houston Field Division Special Agent in Charge Fred
Milanowski.
Anyone with any information about this crime should contact
ATF at 1-888-ATF-TIPS. Information can also be sent to ATFTips@atf.gov, through
ATF’s website at www.atf.gov/contact/atftips. Tips can be submitted anonymously
using the Reportit® app, available from both Google Play and the Apple App

The 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 firearms retailers. ATF
works closely with members of the firearms industry to curb the criminal
acquisition and misuse of firearms.
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
