North Las Vegas, Nev.– The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) -- the trade association for the firearms industry -- have announced a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the theft of firearms from the New Frontier Armory Federal Firearm Licensee (FFL)
ATF is offering a reward up to $2,500, which will be matched by the NSSF for a total reward of $5,000.
This reward is part of a larger national cooperative initiative between the NSSF and ATF in which the NSSF matches ATF rewards in cases involving the theft of firearms from federally licensed firearms retailers. ATF works closely with members of the firearms industry to curb the criminal acquisition and misuse of firearms.
The suspects burglarized the shop at approximately 1:30 A.M., November 20, 2019.

He was wearing a blue hoodie, blue gloves, black mask and blue jeans. He was seen carrying a blue bag into the store. ATF and the North Las Vegas Police Department are investigating the burglary.
