Prosecutors in Montgomery and Bucks counties announced the dismantlement of a gun trafficking ring that they allege put over 30 illegal weapons on the streets using so-called straw purchasers to buy firearms from local gun shops.
The Robinson brothers were charged in the case, county prosecutors announced during a joint press conference on Thursday. Investigators allege that 20-year-old Clayton was the ringleader, with "sales help" from Julian, 31, and 18-year-old Kenneth.
Montgomery District Attorney Kevin Steele was joined by his counterpart from Bucks County, Matt Weintraub on Thursday. Investigators said the probe started after Clayton Robinson was involved in a traffic stop, which lead to a raid on the Robinson's home along the 800 block of Penn Avenue in Abington.
"This is the scourge we need to be fighting, drugs and guns they go hand in hand," Weintraub said. "We know that the combination is not only dangerous but deadly."
