Feds Bust Gun Trafficking Ring Revealing a Pipeline of Illegal Weapons Into Oakland
An Oakland man pleaded guilty today to charges that he trafficked upwards of 60 firearms from Nevada to Oakland as part of a pipeline moving illegal weapons into the East Bay.Between March 2015 and September 2016, Edgar De La Cruz made multiple bus trips and wired money to Reno to purchase guns from six straw buyers, according to an indictment filed in federal court in April. Federal prosecutors allege that he was assisted by another Oakland resident, Andre Winn.
Most of the weapons were semi-automatic pistols like Smith & Wesson's Model SD40VE .40-caliber and Glock's Model 17 and Model 22 9mm.
