26 firearms stolen from Las Cruces store; officials offer $10k reward on burglary

LAS CRUCES, New Mexico -- Federal officials are offering a $10,000 reward seeking help finding a man who stole 26 firearms from Sparks Firearms on Friday.

priority for ATF. We are asking the public to please let authorities know if you recognize this
individual,” said ATF Dallas Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey C Boshek II.
