On March 14, 2018, an unknown suspect entered Cash America Pawn during normal operating hours, armed with a handgun that was loaded with a high capacity magazine. The unidentified suspect jumped up onto the counter, pointed the firearm at employees and customers, and demanded money and firearms. The robbery resulted in the loss of an undisclosed amount of U.S. currency and multiple firearms. The suspect fled in an unknown direction.

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.
