*** WATCH *** HOWIE CARR AND HN TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT BRAZILIAN NATIONALS ACCUSED OF TRAFFICKING GUNS IN YARMOUTH AND BARNSTABLE [DEVELOPING]
WEST YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS – [DEVELOPING] – According to a 19-page sworn affidavit in support of obtaining a search warrant, a Special Federal Agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (“ATF”), described the ongoing investigation into two Brazilian Nationals residing in West Yarmouth. According to the affidavit, 22-year-old Alason Ferreira-Peixoto and 27-year-old Lucas Nascimento-Siva were allegedly dealing numerous handguns, rifles, and quantities of ammunition at various locations across Cape Cod, including the Yarmouth Resort in West Yarmouth, another residential address in Yarmouth, Home Depot in Hyannis, and a residential address in Centerville. According to a recent DOJ press release and the latest court documents, a total of 5 Brazilian nationals residing on the Cape were part of the 18 arrested in a recent federal gun trafficking sting.
HN is currently in the process of reviewing numerous federal court documents related to the aforementioned case (provided to HN by Howie Carr, a Boston Herald columnist and award-winning radio talk show host.) HN will be condensing and sharing a massive amount of details with HN readers in the days to come. In the meantime, the following video, which begins with HN footage from August of 2024, shows police and undercover detectives conducting one part of a lengthy, ongoing gun trafficking investigation involving the Yarmouth Resort in West Yarmouth. According to a Department of Justice press release, 110 firearms were seized across the state during the entire investigation. And there is no way of telling just how many illegal firearms have already hit Cape Cod streets, along with the streets in other communities across Massachusetts, prior to the multi-agency investigation leading to multiple arrests. The video also contains audio of HN’s appearance on the Howie Carr Show yesterday (Friday) afternoon, discussing the above case, where numerous handguns and high-powered rifles were seized by Federal Agents during a number of highly surveilled, controlled purchases utilizing U.S. funds.
