A record number of illegal guns were taken off streets in Hartford in 2022. The city also saw an increase in the number of homicides.
With that year in the books, Channel 3 dug into the capital city’s crime statistics.
Three hundred sixty-seven illegal guns were taken off Hartford’s streets during the calendar year. Fifty-eight of them were ghost guns, according to police.
With a new year underway, they said their efforts will continue to try to keep illegal guns off streets.

“What is an illegal gun anyway?”
Stolen, or imported without documentatiom. A fast and furious weapon... That’s what I would determine.
Send each illegal alien home with most of an illegal gun
Where the “ghost guns” 80%? Or had the serial numbers removed? I’m surprised the HPD got out of their patrol cars.
Shhhh....stop asking questions the idiots at the local alphabet networks have no idea about.
Where’s the distinction that should be there that says how many of those guns were involved in the commission of a crime?
Indeed if the cartels get any bigger they will have a office building in D.C..
Uh, pretty sure it’s called CONgress and they already occupy buildings in d.c. 😁👍
The North End. That's how this happens.
True but the Mexican cartel has more bribe money and hookers.
Is that where the gun shows take place? You know where you can buy bazookas and F-15s? 😵💫👍
