The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) is offering a $5,000 reward for information regarding last week’s robbery at John’s Gun and Tackle Room in Palmer Township, Pennsylvania. During the robbery, 28 guns were stolen.

According to ATF officials, the same burglars tried to rob two other stores but were unsuccessful.

“Stolen guns often end up in the hands of violent criminals who threaten our communities. ATF is dedicated to protecting the public by identifying and arresting those responsible for these crimes,” said Sam Rabadi, Special Agent in Charge of the Philadelphia Field Division, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Anyone with information about the incidents is asked to call the ATF at 1-800-ATF-GUNS, or email [email protected]. Tips can also be submitted through the ReportIt app available on Google Play and in the Apple store.
