One individual in is custody in connection to the theft. However, ATF is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying where the stolen firearms are located. Anyone with information is encouraged to call ATF at (818) 291-7171. Callers can remain anonymous.

ATF is offering $10,000 and the National Sports Shooting Foundation (NSSF), the trade association for the firearms industry, is offering $5,000 for a total reward up to $15,000. This reward is part of a larger national cooperative initiative between the NSSF and ATF in which NSSF matches up to $5,000 of 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.
