Investigators believe a series of burglaries, including two break-ins at separate firearm stores, are related.

Early Tuesday morning Indian Rock Tactical, a firearms store on Wards Road, and Graves Mill Jewelry and Pawn on Waterlick Road were both burglarized. Several weapons were stolen from the stores, including crossbows, compound bows and firearms, according to the Campbell County Sheriff’s Office.

On Wednesday, the Campbell County Sheriff’s Office said the break-ins may be connected to the Aug. 24 break-in at Black Dog Sporting Goods. According to the Bedford County Sheriff’s Office, security cameras captured four men breaking into the Forest firearms store and stealing three guns shortly after midnight.

Last week the Washington field division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the National Shooting Sports Foundation both offered $2,500 for information leading to the arrest of the suspects in the Forest break-in, according to a bureau press release.

Anyone with information about any of the burglaries is asked to call the ATF at 1-800-ATF-GUNS (800-283-4867), the Bedford County Sheriff’s Office at (540) 586-7827, the Campbell County Sheriff’s Office at (434) 332-9574 or Central Virginia Crime Stoppers at 888-798-5900.
