Dallas-Fort Worth (WBAP/KLIF) – A number of North Texas gun dealers have been targeted by thieves in the past two weeks.
42 guns were stolen from three different gun dealers according to the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco & Firearms.
Republic Arsenal in Coppell; Elliot White Gun Company in North Richland Hills; and SK Arms in Flower Mound have been hit.
Surveillance video shows that a red Ford Escape has been linked to at least two of the burglaries.
Sara Abel, spokesperson for the ATF-Dallas Field Division told WFAA-TV that the agency is asking the publics help to find the suspects because stolen firearms are often subsequently used in violent crimes.
A 10-thousand dollar reward has been offered for information leading to arrests, by the ATF and The National Shooting Sports Foundation.
