ATLANTA Three men were sentenced to federal prison time on firearms trafficking charges stemming from the Atlanta area, federal prosecutors said.
Considered a prolific gun trafficker by federal law enforcement authorities Warren Vernell Robertson III, 25, created an illicit weapons pipeline from Georgia to Baltimore delivering more than 100 guns and rifles with the help of two accomplices between 2018 and 2020, prosecutors said. Criminals who unlawfully traffic in firearms often only export crime and violence to other communities, Acting U.S. Attorney Kurt R. Erskine said in a statement. The impact of gun trafficking on our communities is especially acute now, given the uptick in violent crime occurring in many cities.
