SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A federal grand jury has indicted two men in the theft of 111 handguns from the Smith & Wesson manufacturing plant.
Connecticut U.S. Attorney David B. Fein says 27-year-old Elliot Perez and 24-year-old Michael Murphy, both of Bridgeport, Conn., face conspiracy and trafficking charges.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican reports that a federal affidavit says Perez, a driver with Pace Motor Lines of Stratford, Conn., was dispatched Nov. 8 to pick up five crates of guns from Smith & Wesson. He's charged with giving Murphy three cases of guns, which apparently were sold on the streets. Officials say 28 guns have been recovered.
The two have been in custody since being arrested in late November. If convicted, they could receive at least 35 years in federal prison.
