COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the National Shooting Sports Foundation – the trade association for the firearms industry – are announcing a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individuals responsible for the burglary of Buckeye Gun Dealer, located at 910 N. 21st Street, Newark, OH. ATF and NSSF are jointly offering a potential total reward of up to $5,000.
At approximately 2:00 a.m. on November 3, at least three unknown suspects drove a vehicle through the front glass of the business and stole over a dozen firearms before leaving the scene.

This reward is part of a larger national cooperative initiative between the NSSF and ATF in which NSSF matches ATF rewards in cases involving the theft of firearms from federally licensed retailers. ATF works closely with the members of the firearms industry to curb the criminal acquisition and misuse of firearms.
