BILLINGS - Law enforcement officials say 133 firearms, most of them handguns, were stolen from a Billings shipping company in one of the largest such heists in the state's history.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives on Wednesday offered a $10,000 reward for help in solving the case.

The 113 handguns and 20 long guns were taken on Aug. 2 or Aug. 3 from Con-way Freight Company, which was shipping the firearms for owner MT Sports.

ATF Montana Resident Agent in Charge Kenneth Bray says the suspect or suspects left other merchandise behind, suggesting they may have been looking for guns.

Bray says his agency initially handled the investigation internally, but is now looking to the public for potential tips after prior leads were exhausted.
