Arms smuggling

Four men accused of smuggling 110 illegal guns into New York

Four Virginia men have been indicted for smuggling at least 110 illegal guns into New York City this year, city officials said Monday, as they called for stricter penalties against crooks who illegally sell large arsenals of guns.

NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill and District Attorney Cy Vance stood behind a display of the weapons — which included a pink-and-black patterned pistol as well as an assault rifle like the ones used in Sandy Hook, Connecticut and Aurora, Colorado — spread across several tables at Police Headquarters as they made the announcement.

Clive Dixon, 28, sold 86 of the guns to one undercover NYPD officer in 15 separate deals over the course of eight months this year, Vance said. Emmanuel Dentmond, 22, Antonio Williams, 27, and Teal Holt, Jr., 27, allegedly bought the guns in Virginia and drove them up I-95 for Dixon to sell.
