On October 26, at approximately 1:27 a.m., three suspects forced entry into Mission Ridge Range and Academy. Once inside, the suspects stole 6 firearms from the display racks. The suspects are described as young, thin, black males.

The suspects were seen leaving the scene in a black Nissan Altima or similar model, and carried a black duffel bag with white lettering “hit it hard” and an image of red boxing gloves.

“Criminals who use firearms to commit violent crime remains the laser focus of ATF, and we must quickly recover these guns before they commit additional crimes,” 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.

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