Three men have been arrested in Philadelphia for their alleged roles in illegal straw purchasing and conspiracy to traffic 19 firearms.
Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro announced on Friday that Bryan Johnson, Dajuan Coffee, and Quadir Burley have each been arrested and charged with multiple counts of illegal transfer for a firearm, conspiracy, and other related offenses.
“The defendants coordinated the illegal purchases and transfer of 19 firearms into the hands of criminals to be used on the streets of Philadelphia,” Attorney General Shapiro said in a release. “The majority of these straw purchases were made at gun dealers with electronic records of sale, making it easier for law enforcement to track straw purchasers and trace crime guns thanks to our Track + Trace Initiative.
Officials say, Johnson, who had no criminal record at the time, purchased 19 firearms from 15 different locations across Bucks, Montgomery, Philadelphia, and Lehigh counties. Investigators determined that he would then illegally transfer the weapons to Coffee and Burley.WATCH LIVE: Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf To Announce Multimillion Dollar State Investment At PhilaPort
Burley, a convicted felon, was under the supervision of the Pennsylvania Board of Parole during the time period when the straw purchases occurred. The investigation revealed he continued to arrange for the purchase and illegal transfer of firearms.
