FORT IRWIN, Calif. (KTLA) -- Federal investigators are offering a $10,000 reward after 27 rifles were reported stolen from Ft. Irwin earlier this month.
Twenty-six AK-74 rifles and a Dragunov rifle were reported missing on July 15 from a weapon storage area of a supply warehouse on the property, according a statement from Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Federal officials have been conducting interviews at the Mojave Desert army post and said several arrests have been made.
As of Friday, one firearm has been recovered and they are receiving reports that some of them may be in Fresno.
Investigators are now offering a $10,000 reward for any information leading to any arrests or location of the stolen rifles.
"We request the public’s assistance to help us arrest and prosecute those individuals responsible for this crime," said John A. Torres of ATF's Los Angeles Bureau.
Anyone with information regarding this burglary is asked to call ATF Gun Hotline at 800-ATF-GUNS (800-283–4867) or the Fort Irwin office at 760-380-5812.

I have to wonder how the usual suspects will spin this to put more restrictions on honest citizens.
