Firearms Industry Matches ATF Reward in Buford, Georgia Firearms Theft

The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the trade association for the firearms, ammunition, hunting and shooting sports industry, has offered a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the theft of firearms from Buck-N-Bass, a federally licensed firearms retailer in Buford, Ga.. This reward offer matches a $5,000 reward offer by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

According to ATF, a number of handguns and rifles were stolen in a Sept. 14 burglary from the retail store located at 4901 Summer Oak Drive. ATF and the Gwinnett County Police Department are investigating the theft and are seeking information from the public that would lead to the resolution of this investigation.

The matching reward payment by NSSF will be granted only following payment of the initial ATF reward, which is up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the crime.

Any information regarding this burglary should be reported by calling ATF at 912-658-5154 or on the ATF hotline: 1-800-ATF-GUNS (1-800-283-4867)
