St. Louis- The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), St. Louis County Police Department and the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF)- the trade association for the firearms industry- today announced a reward for information in a series of recent gun shop burglaries

ATF is offering a reward of up to $5,000, which will be matched by the NSSF for a total possible reward of $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.

In the early morning hours of Wednesday, November 8th unknown suspects broke into Razorback Armory , 12072 Manchester Road, Des Pres, Missouri, stealing several firearms. Investigators believe that the same suspects broke in to Triple Threat Armory, 9422 Gravois Road, Afton, Missouri early in the morning on Friday, November 10th, but were unable to gain access to any firearms. It appears the suspects then burglarized On Target, 590 Vance Road, Valley Park, Missouri where they stole several additional firearms.

Investigators have identified a vehicle of interest in the three break-ins and are looking for a 2014-2016 “forest mist” Acura MDX. The car may appear grey, silver or green depending on lighting. A picture of the suspect vehicle is attached.
