on Dec. 28, Armando Oliveros bought a .50 caliber barrett rifle from a gunshot in Phoenix. Five hours later, Oliveros allegedly crossed the border with the weapon through San Luis.

According to Mexican officials, the rifle was recovered and taken from the gang member on Jan. 11.

A couple from Phoenix purchased a $10,000 sniper rifle from a licensed gun store on behalf of a Mexican drug cartel, police say.

According to the police report obtained by abc15.com, Jonathan Ibarra Alarcon, 31, had his wife, 22-year-old Erica Jean Ibarra-Alarcon, purchase a Barrett 82A1 that was meant to end in criminal hands south of the border.
The woman allegedly gave a false address and lied on an ATF form stating the gun was for her, police say.

The Alarcons were charged with forgery and weapons misconduct charges for the March 20 purchase.
