Phoenix, Arizona – Special Agent in Charge Brendan Iber of the Phoenix Field Division, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) today announced ATF is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrests of those responsible for stealing firearms from a federal firearms licensee (FFL).
A burglary occurred at Harris Brother’s Tactical, 15610 N. 35th Ave, Unit 6, Phoenix, Arizona, on August 4, 2022 at approximately 0415 a.m. Once inside, the suspects took 19 firearms and fled through the back door.
ATF is offering $5,000 and the National Sports Shooting Foundation (NSSF), the trade association for the firearms industry, is offering $5,000 for a total reward up to $10,000.
