Earlier IndyStar report

A $10,000 reward is now being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whomever stole a trailer loaded with more than two dozen guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition from a Far-Westside gun shop over the weekend.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the National Shooting Sports Foundation are each offering up to $5,000 for the information, a bureau news release said. All tips will be kept confidential.

The burglary was reported at 8:30 a.m. Saturday at Profire Arms and Supply, 7341 Rockville Road.

According to a police report from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, the white box trailer was stolen from the property. It contained 29 guns, 20,000 rounds of ammunition, 15 suppressors and assorted magazines.

The police report states that 16 of the weapons were military-grade. The weapons included Uzis, MP5s and AK-47s.

The thieves also got away with eight handguns, three shotguns, one rifle and one gun categorized as "other," the police report states.

IMPD Lt. Chris Bailey said investigators believe the trailer was hauled from the property sometime between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. It has a license number of TR371UAE.

Suzanne Dabkowski, spokeswoman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said that because Profire is a federal firearms licensee, the ATF is involved in the case.

She added that she could not comment on the incident further because it is an "ongoing investigation."

"It's always a concern," Dabkowski said of gun theft. "Obviously we don't want any firearms being used for legal commerce to be used for illegal purposes."

Dabkowski said federal law does not dictate how retailers must store firearms.

When contacted by phone, the individual who reported the theft to IMPD declined to comment.

As of noon today, Dabkowski said officials did not have any suspect information.

This is the second time this year that a large number of weapons were stolen from a Far-Westside gun shop. On March 22, IMPD officials began investigating the theft of $13,000 worth of guns from C&C Midwest Firearms, 9235 Crawfordsville Road. The police report states that at least 24 guns were stolen: 22 handguns and two military-style rifles.

Police believe that Simeon Adams is a suspect in the C&C burglary. He is also a suspect in two shootings that took place about a week after the guns were stolen: the shooting of Erick Douglas on March 30 and the fatal shooting of Nathan Trapuzzano on April 1.

No evidence links the C&C guns to the shootings of Trapuzzano or Douglas, police said.

Anyone with information about the Profire theft is urged to call Crime Stoppers at (317) 262-8477 or the ATF at 1-800-ATF-GUNS (800-283-4867). Callers also may text "INDYCS" plus tip information to 274627.
