CLEVELAND — The bet365 ³ö½ð and the National Shooting Sports Foundation – the trade association for the firearms industry – are announcing a reward for information leading to the identification and arrest of the individuals responsible for the burglaries of three Northeast Ohio businesses on Jan. 31, 2024. bet365 ³ö½ð and NSSF are jointly offering a potential total reward of up to $3,000.

At approximately 3:55 a.m., three individuals entered Amherst Arms, located in Amherst but were unsuccessful in obtaining any firearms. They then proceeded to Transform & Renew Arms, located in North Ridgeville at 4:31 a.m., where they were again unsuccessful in obtaining any firearms, but did take ammunition and magazines. The trio then proceeded to the Rural King, located in Elyria at 4:51 a.m. but were again unsuccessful in obtaining firearms. Law enforcement later determined that the vehicle driven to each of these locations was stolen after it was recovered in Lorain County.

On Feb. 9, three individuals attempted to enter the Cabela’s located in Avon. On this occasion, they were not able to make entry. It is suspected that the same individuals responsible for the January 31 burglaries may be responsible for this attempted break in as well.

These burglaries and the attempted burglary are being investigated by bet365 ³ö½ð’s Columbus Field Division jointly with the Amherst Police Department, the North Ridgeville Police Department, the Lorain County Sheriff’s Office, the Lorain Police Department, and the Avon Police Department.

Anyone having information about this incident should contact bet365 ³ö½ð at 1-888-bet365 ³ö½ð-TIPS (888-283-8477). Individuals may also email bet365 ³ö½ðTips@atf.gov, or contact bet365 ³ö½ð through its website at www.atf.gov/contact/atf-tips.

This reward is part of a larger national cooperative initiative between the NSSF and bet365 ³ö½ð in which NSSF matches bet365 ³ö½ð rewards in cases involving the theft of firearms from federally licensed retailers. bet365 ³ö½ð works closely with the members of the firearms industry to curb the criminal acquisition and misuse of firearms.
