Two Arizona men, 25-year-old Xander Jackson and 19-year-old Arvon Reynolds, are accused of stealing and trafficking firearms from a gun show held at the Phoenix Convention Center. The alleged theft took place on January 15, when Jackson, reportedly a temporary employee, was seen on security footage stealing 14 handguns from a display and later attempting to conceal them outside.
After Jackson’s arrest, investigators retrieved three of the stolen firearms, one of which was found hidden in his sock. Text messages led police to Reynolds, who allegedly assisted in the crime as a getaway driver. Following a search of Reynolds’ apartment, additional stolen firearms were discovered, raising concerns about security at public events and the trafficking of illegal weapons. Both men now face multiple charges, including theft and trafficking stolen property.
