Undercover stings net 11 indictments, 154 firearms
Kings County District Attorney Charles J. Hynes and Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly on Thursday announced the indictments of 11 people and the seizure of 154 firearms resulting from three separate undercover operations going back to 201l.
“While New York City remains the safest large city in America, incidents of gun violence continue to plague our communities,” said Hynes. “The number of shootings in New York demonstrates clearly the need to keep illegal guns off the streets.”
Kelly said, “People who live in public housing or other low-income sections of the city should be able to enjoy a measure of freedom from fear that others may take for granted. That’s why we engage in proactive policing in this city.”
