Three individuals -- two from New York and one from South Carolina -- were charged in a 438-count indictment in connection to a gun trafficking operation that shipped ghost guns to New York and Pennsylvania from various online retailers, New York Attorney General Letitia James and the New York Drug Enforcement Task Force jointly announced Thursday.
Thursday's takedown came after a six-month joint investigation between the Office of the Attorney General’s Organized Crime Task Force and the New York Drug Enforcement Task Force. The indictment charges the trio with with trafficking numerous ghost guns — weapons without serial numbers or any other identifying markers — including assault weapons, machine guns, and semiautomatic pistols, according to James' office. The gun trafficking operation also sold rapid-fire modification devices, silencers, high-capacity magazines, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
