Police arrest drug dealer after seizing 6 kilos of cocaine and 5 guns in Allentown

(WPHL) — A drug dealer has been arrested after agents seized more than six kilograms of cocaine, five handguns, and a ghost gun with a high-capacity magazine from him.

According to the Office of the Attorney General in Pennsylvania, 32-year-old Angel F. Gil has been charged with felony drug-trafficking and six counts of possession of a prohibited firearm.

Officials say Gil has prior felony convictions for drug trafficking and firearms possession.

Prior to the search warrant being issued, the Office of Attorney General’s Bureau of Narcotics Investigations was investigating Gil as a cocaine trafficker in Lehigh and Northampton Counties.

When police executed the search warrant on two residences at Greenleaf Street in Allentown and Bangor Road in Nazareth, three handguns, a kilogram of cocaine, and cash were found.

Officials also searched two of Gil’s vehicles, where an additional five kilograms of cocaine, two other handguns, a ghost gun, ammunition, and $35,000 cash were found.

”I am pleased to inform Lehigh Valley residents that a dangerous, high-level cocaine trafficker has been charged and taken off the street,” Attorney General Dave 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.”

Gil was arraigned, and bail was set at $500,000.
