STEUBEN COUNTY, Ind. (WANE) A trade association associated with the firearms industry has announced it will match the reward offered by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever stole 24 guns from the Angler Bait and Tackle store located at 7430 South State Road 327 in Steuben County on September 10.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) will pay up to $5,000.  On Tuesday, the ATF announced it had offered a reward of up to $5,000.  

The weapons were stolen during a burglary of the store.
