NORTHEAST PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Two 17-year-old suspects are in custody in connection with a string of thefts at a Northeast Philadelphia gun shop.

ATF officials say a $10,000 reward helped generate tips from the public.

The suspects are charged with the break-ins at Lock's Philadelphia Gun Exchange on the 6700 block of Rowland Avenue during the past month.

Authorities say 17 handguns were stolen, in total, during three burglaries.

And even though the suspects are arrested, none of those weapons have been recovered.
