Several burglars drove their car through the wall of a Conway gun shop, allegedly stealing multiple firearms and making a getaway before police arrived.

On Oct. 25, the Horry County Police Department responded to a break-in at The Hunters Outpost, located at 3035 Bashor Drive, and found that a vehicle had been driven through the wall. Video surveillance showed several people in the vehicle.

Now, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the National Shooting Sports Foundation are offering up to $10,000 in reward money for anyone who can offer information leading to the arrest and conviction of those involved, according to a release from the ATF.

The suspects left on foot, taking several firearms from the business. The vehicle driven through the wall was also determined to be stolen, according to the release.

The Horry County Police Department and ATF are investigating the incident.

Anyone with information may contact the Horry County Police Department Tip Line at 843-915-TIPS. All tips will remain anonymous.

No further information has been released.
