Philadelphia teen street gang burglarized multiple Pennsylvania gun stores, stole nearly 100 firearms, DA says

Just 33 guns recovered from burglaries linked to Philadelphia’s ‘54th Street’ gang

Two adults and 11 teenage members of a known Philadelphia street gang have been arrested after stealing nearly 100 firearms from gun stores across Pennsylvania last year, authorities said Wednesday.

The so-called “54th Street” gang committed three burglaries and one attempted burglary in Montgomery and Bucks Counties in September and November, stealing a total of 93 firearms, the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office said in a news release.

Of the 93 stolen guns, law enforcement has recovered just 33, leaving 60 remaining on the streets.

“With 60 firearms unaccounted for, we still don’t know the extent of the damage by this corrupt organization’s criminal activities, including shootings and murders,” said District Attorney Kevin Steele.
