On Wednesday July 17 at approximately 4:35 pm, a motor vehicle stop of a 2008 Toyota was conducted on West Commodore Boulevard and a male subject was arrested. The Detective Bureau had been provided information that the driver was seeking to sell a firearm. A meeting was arranged with the subject and a Mauser .32 caliber handgun, along with ammunition was purchased. The handgun had reportedly been passed down to the subject from a family member and it was sold without any of the required paperwork. After the transaction was made in a nearby parking lot, the subject’s vehicle was stopped and he was placed under arrest without incident.

Mr. X was charged with the illegal transfer of a firearm. He was processed and issued a summons complaint and released pending a court appearance.

On Thursday July 18, based on information that a second subject was seeking to sell a firearm, Detectives arranged to meet with the suspect in the parking lot of a business on Monmouth Road. At approximately 7:55 pm when the suspect arrived at the location in a 2004 Honda, he was taken into custody without incident. The driver was found to be in possession of a .177 caliber handgun which was modeled after a Beretta PX4 Storm with a silencer which had been purchased out of state.

Arrested:

Mr. X was charged with the illegal transfer of a firearm. He was processed and issued a summons complaint and released pending a court appearance.

- All suspects and persons who are named in this release are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law

Just what the anti's need to see!

Isnt a .177 caliber handgun actually pellet gun? Wow menacing

That doesn't help, but this is one of those things that is a crime in a state and not another. BB guns don't count as guns nearly anywhere else. 

only in NJ and NYC. All they had to do was say pellet gun but then it would have sounded less menacing.

If they were intentionally trying to skirt the law then too bad. They got caught. If they just didn't know then that's unfortunate. Especially over a bb gun

I love that if this EXACT same scenario went down in almost any state south of the mason dixon line.... it would be business as normal
