Barely three months into the new year, Naperville officers have confiscated 15 firearms, three of which were illegally modified to make them into fully automatic weapons, Naperville police Cmdr. Michaus Williams said.
The number of illegal guns confiscated by Naperville police has been going up annually, statistics show. More than half are found during traffic stops and many are possessed by felons, officials said.
Most of those 109 weapons were taken because the people who had them were not lawfully allowed to own them and in many cases were felons, Arres said. Naperville statistics also show that 75% of those charged with firearms violations are from out of town.
