Suspected Hartford drug dealer found with fentanyl, pair of ‘ghost guns,’ police say

A suspected Hartford drug dealer had access to two "ghost guns" and high-capacity magazines when he was arrested Saturday, the second recovery of untraceable weapons in the capital city in as many weeks.

Antuane Allen, 26, was charged with almost a dozen weapons and narcotics offenses after Vice & Narcotics Unit detectives developed information he has been selling drugs throughout the northeast corner of the city, Lt. Paul Cicero said.

Detectives located and arrested Allen on Saturday, when they found him with one so-called ghost gun and two high-capacity magazines, Cicero said. Detectives then searched his Garden Street apartment and found another untraceable handgun and two more high-capacity magazines.
