PHILADELPHIA — Federal authorities have announced charges in connection with hundreds of firearms they say were illegally trafficked to Philadelphia from two states in the South.
Some of the firearms allegedly trafficked were used in crimes in the city, including shootings, and “dozens” remain on the streets of Philadelphia, said Matthew Varisco, special agent in charge of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Three people are charged in connection with more than 100 firearms purchased around Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and brought to Philadelphia, authorities said. Three people are also charged in the two cases with dealing firearms without a license.
