Seven Sentenced for Trafficking 240 Stolen Firearms

Seven individuals have received federal prison sentences for their involvement in a scheme that stole and trafficked 240 firearms from an Indianapolis shipping facility. The operation, which unfolded between January and March 2022, involved multiple shipments intended for various states, and only 61 of the stolen weapons have been recovered to date. Among those sentenced are two shipping facility employees who orchestrated the theft and several associates who facilitated the sale of the guns.

This case highlights the serious implications of firearm trafficking, as federal authorities emphasize that stolen weapons pose a considerable risk to public safety. John E. Childress, the Acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana, stated that such firearms often end up in the hands of violent offenders. The sentences range from 1.5 to 9 years in prison, depending on each individual’s involvement, as authorities continue efforts to combat gun trafficking and recover stolen firearms.
