The Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement say the men were involved in more than five burglaries of central Florida firearms dealers in 2016 and 2017. The guns were then sold within days of the burglaries.
It wasn’t immediately known if the men had attorneys.
