Anchorage police have arrested one of the two men accused of breaking into a local knife and gun shop and stealing 36 firearms on Sept. 7.
Officers arrested 31-year-old Seth Kaufman on Sunday night after receiving a tip that he was staying at the Motel 6 in Midtown, said a statement from police Thursday.
Police said when officers tried to contact Kaufman, he jumped out of a window and ran. A K-9 unit stopped him.
Kaufman was arrested and faces multiple charges, including first-degree burglary and first-degree theft.
Police recovered four of the stolen guns, according to Jason Chudy, a spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Detectives continue to search for the second suspect, police said. In an effort to find him, they released a portion of the surveillance video footage from the burglarized shop on the police department's Facebook page.

Police said in Thursday's statement that ATF and the National Shooting Sports Foundation are offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information in the case.
