Tewksbury Police in collaboration with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested a New Hampshire man Tuesday following a firearms trafficking investigation. "This was the finest example of collaboration in an effort to take weapons off the street that may otherwise have been used in the commission of violent crimes," said Police Chief Timothy Sheehan. "The ATF was an outstanding partner in this investigation."

On Tuesday, Oct. 20, the Tewksbury Police Department, along with the ATF, arrested John J. Miller, 29, of 31 Clinton St., Apt # 2, Milford NH for trafficking firearms, sale of an assault weapon, sale of a large capacity shotgun, carrying a firearm without a license, possession of a large capacity assault rifle, possession of a large capacity shotgun, unlicensed sale of ammunition, possession of ammunition without a license, commission of a felony while being armed and 11 counts of possession of a large capacity feeding device. Tewksbury Detectives, along with ATF Special Agents, began an investigation into Miller after alleged attempts to illegally sell firearms in Tewksbury and at least one other Massachusetts municipality.
