According to the ATF, the Ammo Shack was broken into by “several individuals” around 2:45 a.m. May 4 and multiple firearms were stolen.

Police charged 18-year-old Kwalei Harley and 20-year-old James Paul Fairley, both of Rockingham, each with 16 counts of larceny of a firearm and possession of a stolen firearm, in addition to other related charges.

All defendants facing criminal charges are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

The ATF requests that anyone with information about the crime contact the agency by calling 1-800-ATF-TIPS (800-283-8477) or by emailing ATFTips@atf.gov. Tipsters can also use the Reportit app or the P3Tips app, recently employed by the RPD and other local law enforcement agencies.

The ATF says all calls and tips will remain confidential.
