Machinegun Conversion Devices (MCDs) are illegal and the consequences of selling or possessing one can be serious. They are a threat to the community and ATF is committed to keeping them off our streets. With @USAO_WDNC. https://t.co/aHOEMtFTzn

Be careful what you ask for. This defendant advertised Glock switches for sale on social media by saying “Go fed or go home.” Well, now he’s gone fed…to federal prison.

Stealing money from elderly individuals is a despicable crime. This sentence sends a clear message that fraudsters who target and exploit older adults for financial gain will be brought to justice.

Such an honor to be the keynote speaker at the Union County Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Annual Prayer Breakfast. As we continue to honor his legacy everyday, may we be reminded of his words, “the time is always right, to do what is right.”

Federal prosecutors put the “brakes” on this Charlotte car theft criminal ring. After stealing 100+ high-end vehicles nationwide the next stop for these four defendants is federal prison. Thanks @HSI_Charlotte @FBICharlotte @CMPD for this team effort!
