...Officers from the Asheville Police Department were called to the store after in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, officials said
"A suspect or suspects gained entrance to the business while power in most of the area was out and many buildings and roads were inaccessible," officials said. "Multiple firearms and other devices were taken."
Officials say the break-in happened at Carolina Guns and Gear West, located at 3106 Sweeten Creek Road in Asheville. They're offering a $10,000 reward, which is the usual for information leading to an arrest in a gun store burglary.
If you know anything, call the ATF at 888-ATF-TIPS, or 888-283-8477. You can also email them at ATFTips@atf.gov, or through the agency's website: www.atf.gov/contact/atf-tips. Let's see these thieves arrested and brought to justice, not just because they stole guns and will likely provide them to others who would use them illegally, thus justifying more gun control that wouldn't impact them in the least, but also because these scumbags took advantage of horrific tragedy to enrich themselves.
