MISSOULA — Federal and local law enforcement are asking for your help as the investigation continues into a May robbery of a Missoula pawn shop.
A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Missoula Police Department and the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF).
The robbery happened at 11:15 a.m. on May 16, 2024, when a male suspect went into Downtown Gun and Pawn and asked to see a firearm.
Once he had the gun, the suspect left the store and fled the scene in a dark grey or silver Lexus with unknown out-of-state license plates.
The firearm was recovered a couple of days later in Shoshone County, Idaho, according to a news release.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to contact ATF at 888-ATF-TIPS (1-888-283-8477). Information can also be sent to ATFTips@atf.gov or through ATF’s website at www.atf.gov/contact/atftips.
Tips can be submitted anonymously using the Reportit® app, available from both Google Play and the Apple App store, or by visiting www.reportit.com.
"This reward is part of a larger national cooperative initiative between ATF and NSSF in which NSSF matches ATF’s reward in cases involving the theft of firearms from federally licensed firearms retailers," the release states.
