The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the trade association for the firearms industry, has announced a reward of up to $3,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the December 11th burglary at Bi-Mart in Roseburg, in which firearms were stolen.
ATF Public Information Officer Jason Chudy said the Roseburg Police Department and the ATF are investigating the burglary, which took place in the early morning hours. Chudy said store video footage showed that one person entered and then exited the building with firearms.
It is believed that the same vehicle was used in two other burglaries the same morning in Roseburg. The vehicle has already been located.
ATF Seattle Field Division Special Agent in Charge Jonathan Blais said, “the sooner these firearms are recovered and the burglar or burglars brought to justice the safer the community will be”.
Anyone with information about the person or persons responsible or who has information leading to the recovery of the stolen firearms should contact the ATF at 1-888-ATF-TIPS, via email at: atftips@atf.gov or through its website at: www.atf.gov.contact/atftips.
All calls and tips will be kept confidential.
