Lynnwood Gun Store Burglary

Firearms Industry Matches ATF Reward in Lynnwood Firearms Theft  

NEWTOWN, Conn – The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) – the trade association for the firearms industry –has announced a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the March 26, 2010 burglary and theft of Lynnwood Gun and Ammunition, a federally licensed firearms (FFL) dealer, located at 20829 Highway 99 Suite A, Lynnwood, Washington. One hundred firearms were stolen.  The NSSF reward offer matches a $5,000 reward offered by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

Steve Sanetti, president of the NSSF, said, "Our matching reward offer will hopefully help assist ATF and local law enforcement in solving this crime against a federally licensed firearms dealer and lead to the swift recovery of stolen firearms before they can enter the illegal underground black market where they can be misused to commit violent crimes."

The matching reward payment by NSSF will be granted only following payment of the initial ATF reward, which is up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the crime.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the ATF’s 24-hour tip line at 1-800-ATF-GUNS (800-283-4867), the ATF Seattle Field Division Office at 206-389-5800 or Detective Anne Miles with the Lynnwood Police Department at 425- 670-5669 or 425-670-5600. Callers may remain anonymous.

For any questions about the theft of these firearms, please contact ATF at the numbers listed above.
