Law enforcement has supplied an $11,000 reward for assist figuring out the 4 suspects concerned within the theft of the Dominion Defense gun retailer in Springfield, Virginia. 

The robbers nabbed 53 weapons, a mixture of handguns and longer weapons, between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. on April 29, breaking in through a small opening above the shop’s door. Surveillance footage depicted three masked males going inside the shop, whereas a fourth labored as a lookout.

Therefore, we call upon the community to provide any additional information that will assist us in locating and holding all involved accountable,” ATF Washington Field Division Acting Special Agent in Charge Michael Weddel stated.
