Authorities in New York have indicted four Virginia men for allegedly smuggling “at least 110 illegal guns” into New York City this year, according to the New York Post.
One suspect identified as Clive Dixon, 28, allegedly sold 86 guns to the same undercover New York City police officer in 15 separate transactions that occurred over the course of eight months. The firearms were allegedly purchased in Virginia and brought north by three other suspects, identified as Emmanuel Dentmond, Antonio Williams and Teal Holt, Jr.
According to the newspaper, all four men were indicted on conspiracy charges. Police commissioner James O’Neill said that “the fact that one defendant could so readily obtain more than 100 guns speaks volumes about the scope of the illegal firearm trafficking problem in this country.”
