Officials with the Atlanta Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives announced that a reward of up to $5,000 will be offered for information leading to the capture of those responsible for a firearms theft at Kemp's Pharmacy, a federal firearm licensee in Claxton. "When guns fall into the wrong hands, the potential for violence increases," said Special Agent in charge, Gregory Gant. The June 12 burglary began just before 1 a.m. at the Duval Street business when thieves smashed in the front glass door with a metal 55-gallon barrel, ATF's report said.
