ATF: 400 Guns Stolen From Memphis UPS Facility

Two unidentified men used a U-Haul truck to steal about 400 guns from a United Postal Service facility in Memphis, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives announced Monday. The agency is offering a $5,000 reward for any information that leads to an arrest and conviction in the case, warning that the firearms could lead to a surge in violent crime in the city. “We are concerned that the firearms will end up on the streets not only potentially in the Memphis area, but also across the country,” ATF spokesman Michael Knight was quoted as saying by the Associated Press. “The criminal element knows no geographical boundary.” UPS said it is cooperating with investigators but offered no further details.
