NATCHEZ — Federal investigators have increased the reward for information regarding the robbery of an Adams County pawnshop last month.

The maximum reward for information leading to the arrest of those responsible for the Dec. 2 burglary of Peddlers Antique Pawn and Salvage has risen to $10,000.

Four masked men broke into the pawnshop early in the morning on Dec. 2 and allegedly stole approximately $30,000 worth of handguns and jewelry.

Approximately 25 handguns and a large quantity of jewelry were stolen, storeowner Jeff Bryant said at the time.
