Attorney General Dave Sunday announced the arrest of an Allentown-based drug trafficker after agents seized more than 6 kilograms of cocaine, five handguns and a ghost gun with a high-capacity magazine.
Angel F. Gil, 32, is charged with felony drug-trafficking and six counts of possession of a prohibited firearm — as Gil has prior felony convictions for drug trafficking and firearms possession.
The Office of Attorney General’s Bureau of Narcotics Investigations had been investigating Gil as a cocaine trafficker in the Lehigh and Northampton County regions prior to search warrants recently served at two residences and two vehicles connected to Gil.
“I am pleased to inform Lehigh Valley residents that a dangerous, high-level cocaine trafficker has been charged and taken off the street,” Sunday said. “This defendant is a repeat offender who possessed deadly weapons, with enhancements for increased proficiency, to protect his highly profitable drug trade. I commend our law enforcement partners for ensuring this was a secure and productive takedown that will make neighborhoods safer.”
Office of Attorney General agents were assisted by the Allentown Police Department, Slate Belt Regional Police Department and Emmaus Police Department’s K-9 Unit.
Searches were conducted at homes on Greenleaf Street in Allentown and Bangor Road in Nazareth, where three handguns, a kilogram of cocaine and cash were seized.
Officials also searched two of Gil’s vehicles, where an additional 5 kilograms of cocaine were found — well-concealed, in “trap” console locations — along with two other handguns, a ghost gun, ammunition and $35,000 cash.
Gil was arraigned last week when bail was set at $500,000. The case will be prosecuted by the Lehigh County District Attorney’s Office.
