Hundreds Of Guns Stolen In LA Train Heist: Feds Offer $10K Reward.

LOS ANGELES, CA — Federal authorities are looking for several suspects believed to be responsible for stealing hundreds of guns from a freight train traveling through Los Angeles in June.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the National Shooting Sports Foundation are teaming up to offer a $10,000 reward for anyone who may have information on the suspects.

Officials with the ATF say the heist happened sometime between June 16 and 19 as multiple Missouri-bound Union Pacific freight trains made their way through Los Angeles. Empty gun boxes were later discovered in Long Beach and in the Riverside County communities of Coachella and Mecca.

“Stealing firearms endangers every neighborhood those weapons pass through,” ATF Special Agent in Charge Kenny R. Cooper of the Los Angeles Field Division said in a statement Thursday. “We’re determined to shut down this black market pipeline and hold the offenders accountable. We urge anyone with information to come forward.”

The ATF asks that anyone with information contact the agency at 888-283-8477 or the Riverside County Sheriff's Office at 760-863-8990.

Tips must lead to the arrest or conviction of whoever was responsible for the heist to be eligible for the $10,000 reward, according to the ATF.
