(WWJ) A $5,000 reward has been posted for information leading to the arrest of several suspects wanted for stealing guns from a Flint-area sporting goods store.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the robbers broke through the front window of Dunham’s in Burton just before 12:30 a.m. on Saturday, December 16.
Officials said "numerous firearms were stolen" by the suspects, who remained at large on Tuesday.
As the investigation by Burton Police and the ATF continues, surveillance photos of the suspect were released in hope that someone in the public can help identify them.
This comes after, just last month, two men were arrested on federal charges for a robbery at a West Michigan Dunham's in which a store manager was kidnapped and 120 guns were stolen. Authorities have not released any information linking these two crimes.
Anyone with information about the Burton robbery or the pictured suspects is asked to call the ATF Flint Field Office at 810-341 - 5710. Tips to the ATF can also be submitted by calling all 1-888-ATF-TIPS (1-888-283-8477), emailing ATFTips@atf.gov or submitting information anonymously via www.ReportIt.com or the Report It mobile app, available on Google Play or the Apple App Store. When using Report It, select “ATF – Detroit Field Division” as the reporting agency.
Tipsters are asked to provide as much information as they can related to the identity and whereabouts of the suspects. Information can be submitted anonymously, but to get the reward you must provide your contact information.
