\n Authorities busted a gun-running ring that trafficked the illegal firearms from Virginia to Queens after a months-long undercover operation, officials announced Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the result of a joint investigation with NYPD with the clear goal of getting guns off of our streets that would have otherwise been illegally sold and used to create mayhem in the city of New York,\u201d Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said announcing the arrests.<\/p>\n

Since the investigation was opened in September 2019, undercover officers bought 23 illegal firearms.<\/p>\n

Police also purchased more than 10 large-capacity magazines from the illegal operation.<\/p>\n

\u201cMake no mistake about it, this was an extremely lucrative business,\u201d Katz said.<\/p>\n

Jessica \u201cCess Milla\u201d Heyliger, 35, of Queens, is accused of heading the gun-running operation that would allegedly buy the firearms from 36-year-old Virginia resident, Laquan Benson, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Heyliger and Sharod King, 32, also of Queens, would then sell the weapons in NYC by using online classified ads, police allege.<\/p>\n

A fourth member, Michell Myree, 36, of Queens, was Heyliger\u2019s back-up gun supplier, according to authorities.<\/p>\n

The bust comes as the city deals with a surge in shootings, which Chief of Detectives Rodney Harrison credited to gang violence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe gang-motivated shooting, unfortunately, has turned into retaliations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Katz \u2014 countering the narrative put forward by the mayor and NYPD \u2014 said that although juries are not currently in courthouses, arraignments and gun prosecutions have never stopped.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor all of you that want to traffic guns, and bring them from other places into the county of Queens\u2014 Queens is absolutely closed for business,\u201d Katz said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
