Denver police and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have arrested 16 people — all with alleged ties to local gangs — in connection with various gun and drug crimes.
During the investigation, undercover agents and officers purchased 27 illegal guns from the defendants, according to a news release from the U.S. attorney’s office. Of the 16 arrested, one is a federal fugitive and one is a juvenile. Four are being prosecuted in federal court, and 11 are being prosecuted in state court.
