Task force arrests 13 in gun crackdown in Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA - More than a dozen people are under arrest following a crackdown on illegal gun transfers in Philadelphia.
Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett and Philadelphia District Attorney Lynn Abraham announced the arrests Tuesday.
Thirteen people are facing charges that include the illegal transfer or use of firearms. Many of the guns were later used in violent crimes.
Police say one suspect purchased two handguns and a shotgun on the street and used one of the firearms in a drive-by shooting. Another suspect purchased 26 handguns between 1995 and 2003 and illegally sold 23 of them. One of the weapons was recovered in a murder investigation.
Corbett and Abraham say 179 arrests have been made and 265 firearms seized since the task force was started in December 2006.
