SLIGO, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- A coal company in Pennsylvania told the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Friday that 2,000 pounds of mining explosives have been stolen.

The explosives were taken from the C&K Coal Co. on February 16, and authorities are offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of those responsible.

BATF is also looking for the driver of a green pickup truck reportedly seen near the C&K Coal Co. around the time the explosives were stolen.

The driver is not currently a suspect.
