Houston, Texas – -(AmmoLand.com)- The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the trade association for the firearms industry have announced a reward of up to $8,000 for information leading to the arrest of the suspect(s) responsible for burglarizing Phantom Tactical, located at 15626 Galveston Rd., Houston, Texas.
On October 22nd at 2:21 am, four suspects entered Phantom Tactical, while the store was closed. The suspects gained entry by using a sledgehammer to break the front door and stole two (2) firearms and $4,000.
The suspects are described as 18-25 years of age, slender, and wearing all black clothing with their faces covered. One suspect was wearing a sweatshirt with the logo “Thrasher” on it.
“Recovering these firearms quickly before additional crimes are committed remains a top priority for ATF,” said ATF Houston Field Division Special Agent in Charge Fred Milanowski.
Anyone with any information about this crime should contact ATF at 1-888-ATF-TIPS. Information can also be sent to [email protected], through ATF’s website at www.atf.gov/contact/atftips. Tips can be submitted anonymously using the Reportit® app, available from both Google Play and the Apple App store, or by visiting www.reportit.com (link is external).”
The reward is part of a larger national cooperative initiative between the NSSF and ATF in which 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.
ATF is the lead federal law enforcement agency with jurisdiction involving firearms and violent crimes and regulates the firearm industry. More information about ATF and its programs is available at www.atf.gov.
A sledgehammer?….Really? You couldn’t get through MY front door with one! Poor security if you ask me? The first hit should have set off alarms!
To bad there wasn’t four rotties,four German Shepherds,Hell couple wolf hybrids.They could have had a fest.
More likely a feast! Hee hee!
Close enough you got the meaning lol
The Guns will likely show up at a Mass Murder false flag attack by the Left (Deep State) Thugs while gathering Anti-Gun Media coverage. I say capture the SLIMES and hold a World Wide PUBLIC Execution……………..
Trasher looks like a womans body
I’m with you on that: apparent breasts, slender legs and arms, small, slim hands . . . . . and possibly a mask.
ATF more worried about the “guns” involved in crime than the criminals. Nail criminals to the wall, execute violent ones swiftly and watch this crap change. Disband the atf.
@thenewbreed, You are on time and on target! Disband that organized band of gun runners known as BATFE.
inside job. notice thrasher doesn’t seem to be wearing glovesas his prints would be found there naturally anyway. analysis of surveillance cameras and comparison of body size/structure should reveal employee, regular customer or family/friend of employee.
@Rick weaver, professional criminals don’t wear gloves, anymore, except an an expedient. The pros paint the pads of their fingers with clear nail polish, so that they don’t look out of place and avoid leaving prints. Just a heads up.
I am sure they will register the guns.
that would be a slap in the face if mister john thrasher register the gun
In CA, HI, NY, Nj, etc, that’s exactly what they are supposed to do. So of COURSE they will… (not)
I believe we will see more of this, very likely done by far-Left anarchists, in preparation for some planned violence either leading up to or following the election, depending. Call it a gut feeling. Don’t be surprised.
I agree
That’s the feeling that I had too Timothy.
