Burglars got away with more than three dozen firearms in La Vergne.

According to the ATF, the burglary happened between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. Saturday at Specialty Arms on Old Nashville Highway.

At least four burglars broke into the store and got away with around 39 weapons.

Officials with the ATF said they believe this was pre-planned, but they have not released any additional information on the burglars. They stated the burglary was a smash and grab. Investigators have been working to determine if there was more than one point of entry.

The ATF and the National Shooting Sports Foundation have offered a reward of up to $5,000 for information on the crime.
