Federal agency offers reward in Anderson gun store burglary

ANDERSON, Ind. (AP) - The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the National Shooting Sports Foundation are offering rewards of up to $5,000 each for information regarding firearms stolen from a gun shop in Anderson.

Police initially believed as many as 50 firearms were stolen Monday from Crack Shot Guns, but WISH-TV reports that investigators have since determined 71 handguns were taken in the burglary. Police believe the thieves broke in through a roof shared by a neighboring computer repair store.

In just over two months, all three of Anderson's gun shops have been burglarized.

Fifty guns were stolen Aug. 13 From Gunslingers, where another burglary occurred about nine months prior. Nearly 10 guns were taken later in August from 9-Guns.

No suspects have been arrested in the latest gun store heist.
