An NYPD officer has been arrested in connection with a
months-long firearms trafficking investigation after he allegedly stole guns
from his precinct to be sold on the street and arranged drug buys while on duty,
authorities said.
Nicholas Mina was arrested late Thursday and charged with
conspiracy, grand larceny and sale of a firearm, among other crimes.
Information on an attorney wasn't immediately available. He and four
co-conspirators who were also arrested were scheduled to be arraigned
Friday.
Authorities say the group allegedly trafficked at least 10 guns
over a two-month period. The alleged ringleader of the group, Guy Chavez, is
accused of procuring firearms from various sources and removing serial numbers
before selling them, prosecutors said.
Four additional firearms were recovered from his home when a
search warrant was executed. Charges against him are pending and information on
an attorney wasn't available. More
