Federal agents have broken the back of a gang in the greater Sacramento area allegedly engaged in illegal and large-scale firearms trafficking and manufacturing.
Between Feb. 6 and Sept. 28, undercover law enforcement officers paid members of the gang at least $150,000 for 16 commercially manufactured firearms, 47 unlawfully manufactured firearms, and 37 unlawfully manufactured silencers, according to papers on file in Sacramento federal court.
The sting operation has thus far yielded six arrests.
