Jesus DeJesus, 21, of Philadelphia, was sentenced to 1.5 to 3 years in prison after pleading guilty to charges of theft by unlawful taking of firearms and robbery in connection with two incidents that occurred between April and May 2024 in Lower Moreland Township, The Times Herald reported.

According to their coverage, DeJesus ordered lower frames for Glock handguns from an online store and had the items shipped to two known federal firearms licensed dealers in Lower Moreland, unbeknownst to those dealers. He then intercepted and stole the firearms parts after they were delivered to the dealers’ porches.

He was 19 years old at the time and was prohibited by law from owning a firearm or purchasing lowers, The Times Herald said.
