Burglars broke into a Pelham gun shop and now federal authorities are offering a reward for information in the case.

The break-in happened Friday at Alabama Guns and Outdoors on Pelham Parkway, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives spokesman Michael Knight. There were 16 firearms stolen during the burglary.

Knight said investigators are in the process of conducting an inventory to determine the exact number of guns taken.

ATF is offering a reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to an arrest in the case. The amount offered by ATF will be matched by the National Shooting Sports Foundation - the trade association for the firearms industry - for a total of up to $5,000. ATF and NSSF work closely together to curb the criminal acquisition and misuse of guns, Knight said.

Anyone with information is asked to call ATF at 1-800- ATF-GUNS (1-800-283-4867) or Pelham police at 205-620-6550. Tips can also be sent to ATF via the mobile app www.reportit.com by using the Nashville field division as the location.

Efforts to obtain additional details about the burglary weren't immediately successful, but this story will be updated as more information is released.
