HOLLY SPRINGS, GA -- The Holly Springs Police Department can still use your help to solve the case of a burglary at a local gun store in which the thieves took several firearms.

Detective Greg Bettis with the agency said investigators continue to seek clues in the case, but are "making slow progress" in cracking the mystery.

Hi-Caliber Firearms at 101 Overlook Circle was the scene of the crime when around 6:04 a.m. Saturday, March 26, two men "used a large rock to break the front window of the business," Holly Springs police previously said.

The suspects, who appeared to be wearing hoodies, entered the store, and took three AR-15-style rifles from the business, police say. Surveillance footage show the suspects driving a light-colored Nissan Altima or Sentra. The model year of the vehicle is believed to be 2007 or later.

Crime Stoppers Greater Atlanta is working with Holly Springs detectives to solve the case, and is offering an award of up to $2,000 for information leading to the arrest of those responsible. Residents can call 404-577-TIPS (8477) to leave tips anonymously.

Citizens can also submit tips via text message by submitting info to CRIMES (274637) or by visiting the website.
