A reward is being offered for information in the burglary of nearly a dozen weapons from a Tuscaloosa gun store.

The break-in happened Dec. 4 at Plus One Tactical Advantage on Skyland Boulevard in Cottondale, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. According to ATF officials, approximately 10 guns were stolen but authorities are in the process of conducting an inventory to determine the exact amount.

ATF and the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearms industry trade association, is offering the joint reward. Each are posting $2,500 for a reward total of $5,000.

The reward is part of a larger, national 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,’’ said ATF Special Agent in Charge, Marcus Watson said. “ATF’s Crime Gun Intelligence will leverage investigative resources combined with community partnerships to recover the stolen firearms.”

Anyone with information about this crime should contact ATF at 1-888-ATF-TIPS or Tuscaloosa County Crime Stoppers 205-752-7867.

Information can also be sent to ATFTips@atf.gov or through ATF’s website at www.atf.gov/contact/atftips.
