Cargo handler charged in theft

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - Investigators say 28-year-old Patrick Dolan of Keyport worked at a FedEx facility in Eatontown, where he allegedly stole 146 guns being shipped from a manufacturer in Argentina to an importer in New Jersey.

Authorities say Dolan enlisted the help of 32-year-old John Sozomenou of Aberdeen to sell the guns in Newark, East Orange and Jersey City, where residents tipped off police to the operation.

Both were charged Tuesday with conspiracy to possess and sell stolen firearms and face up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted.
