Early yesterday morning, a raid conducted by Worcester Police Department's Gang Unit, supported by Massachusetts State Police and ATF, led to the arrest of two males on multiple gun charges. The operation targeted a residence on Russell Street, where 22-year-old Luke Hanley along with 19-year-old Calagio Colon and a juvenile were detained following the execution of a search warrant at around 6:05 a.m., as per an official statement released by the Worcester Police Department.
The Worcester Police SWAT team's initial breach was followed by a thorough search of the premises by investigators. They discovered three firearms in what Hanley claimed was his bedroom, while ammunition and a spent shell casing were found in a second bedroom. The Crime Scene Unit subsequently processed the scene for evidence. Both Hanley and Colon were unable to produce the required licenses to carry the firearms, with Colon being underage for such a certification, according to the police report.
As a result of the raid, Hanley is facing a litany of charges including Possession of a Firearm without FID, Possession of Large Capacity Firearms, and Possession of a Machine Gun, among others. Colon was charged with possession of a Firearm without FID, as well as possessing a large capacity firearm and feeding device. A juvenile involved was also charged with possession of ammunition without the necessary FID.
