A $10,000 reward is being offered for information on the theft of some 35 firearms from a North Alabama pawn shop.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said the guns were stolen Feb. 12 from Gold, Guns and Guitars on Highway 72 in Madison.

The ATF is offering a $5,000 reward for information; the National Shooting Sports Foundation is matching that amount, bringing the total to $10,000. The reward is part of a larger program between the ATF and NSSF in cases involving thefts of firearms from federally licensed firearms retailers such as Gold, Guns and Guitars.

“ATF works closely with members of the firearms industry to curb the criminal acquisition and misuse of firearms. ATF Special Agent in Charge, Marcus Watson said. “ATF’s Crime Gun Intelligence in conjunction with Project Guardian 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 (1-888-283-8477), or the Huntsville Police Department 256- 883-3739.
