After more than a dozen firearms were stolen from Kentuckiana Gun Store on IN-62, nearby business managers like Kristen Jacobs say they’re on alert. “It doesn’t seem like the type of thing where if you’re stealing guns, you’re going to use them for good,” Jacobs said. “I don’t know what their plans are with these guns and what they’re going to do with them.”The Jeffersonville Police Department says that, around 6 a.m. on June 30, they responded to the gun store for an alarm call. Images from surveillance video at the store show three suspects. Each has their face covered with a mask. They arrived in a red sedan and took off with more than a dozen stolen firearms. ATF Columbus Field Division is investigating along with the Jeffersonville Police Department.Daryl McCormick, with ATF Columbus Field Division, says that as an incentive, their division and the National Shooting Sports Foundation are offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information that leads to an arrest.“Right now, the main thing is we’re trying to identify who the suspects are,” McCormick said. “Clearly, with the number of firearms that were stolen, we expect that those firearms are in the hands of criminals and are likely to be used to endanger the public.”This isn’t the first time Kentuckiana Gun Store has been targeted. Last February, the shop was burglarized and seven people including six teens were arrested. McCormick is hoping with the community’s help, they can find the suspects responsible for the most recent thefts.
