PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) -- Police in Pueblo are looking for a pair of criminals who busted through a gun store wall and stole a number of firearms. And now, the reward for turning them in is $5,000.

One man, holding his hands up to his face, was wearing a black sweatshirt; the other man was wearing a grey hoodie, yellow beanie, blue sneakers, and appeared to have a goatee.
