A $10,000 reward was announced Wednesday for information leading to the arrest and conviction of six suspects wanted in connection with a rash of gun store burglaries in Fountain Valley, Placentia and Yorba Linda.

Images of the suspects, obtained from surveillance video, were released in hopes of generating leads from the public about the identities and whereabouts of the burglars.

The first burglary occurred about 5 a.m. on Aug. 29 at Orange County Firearms in Fountain Valley, according to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Special Agent Meredith Davis.

On Sept. 2 between 3:30 a.m. and 5:30 a.m., the same suspects stole weapons from FMK Firearms in Placentia, Sure Fire Institute in Yorba Linda and Rifle Gear Firearms in Fountain Valley, Davis said.

Authorities declined to say how many and what type of weapons were stolen.

Anyone with information was asked to call the ATF tip line at (800) ATF- GUNS.
