ATF, Red Bank PD and the Firearms Industry Seek Public's
Help in Firearms Theft from Dave's Shooting Supply
RED BANK, Tenn. — The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms
and Explosives (ATF) in conjunction with the Red Bank Police Department and the
National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the trade association for the
firearms industry, are offering a reward for information leading to the arrest
and conviction for those responsible for the theft of firearms from Dave’s
Shooting Supply, a federal firearm licensee (FFL).
On Dec. 20, 2018, Dave’s Shooting Supply, 4220 Dayton Blvd.,
Red Bank, was burglarized where approximately 16 firearms were reported stolen
to the Red Bank Police Department. ATF
Industry Operations Investigators responded to the FFL and are in the process
of conducting an inventory to determine the exact number of firearms stolen.
ATF is offering the reward for the amount of 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 NSSF matches ATF’s 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. ATF Special Agent in Charge,
Marcus Watson said, “ATF’s Crime Gun Intelligence will leverage investigative
resources combined with community partnerships to recover the stolen firearms.”
Anyone with information about this crime should contact ATF
at (888) ATF-TIPS (1-888-283-8477) or Red Bank Police Department at (423)
877-1103. Information can also be sent
to ATFTips@atf.gov, through ATF’s website at www.atf.gov/contact/atftips. Tips
