An Ohio man was sentenced in federal court for checking luggage filled with guns and ammunition at Pittsburgh International Airport.
According to the Department of Justice, 29-year-old Luis Rojas Cay was previously convicted of robbery and attempted kidnapping in Kansas, making him ineligible to have or own a gun.
On April 26, 2024, agents found three semiautomatic handguns and more than 200 rounds of ammunition inside a checked bag belonging to Rojas Cay, who was heading to San Juan, Puerto Rico, prosecutors say.
The items were reportedly wrapped in foil-backed tape and placed inside a metal briefcase lined with sheet metal.
Rojas Cay was convicted of possessing a firearm as a felon and carrying a weapon on an aircraft.
A judge sentenced him to 51 months in prison on July 29.
The case is part of the DOJ’s Project Safe Neighborhoods, aimed at reducing violent crime and gun violence.
