A 65-year-old man from North Andover has been sentenced to 63 months in prison after an explosion at his home uncovered more than 30 illegal firearms. Daniel Medina, a convicted felon prohibited from possessing weapons, was found with a collection that included 12 rifles, 15 pistols, and three shotguns, along with significant quantities of ammunition and explosive materials.
