Two Peoria men have been presented in federal court in Peoria after they were arrested on charges alleging that they have stolen 53 guns from Central Illinois licensed firearms dealers since Christmas Day 2019. The two men are Terrence M. Daniels, 19, and James D. Woolfolk, 20. Both of the Peoria men are charged in the burglary of six licensed firearms dealers in five counties.

According to the affidavit filed in support of the criminal complaint, Daniels and Woolfolk burglarized and stole guns from licensed firearms dealers in the Illinois counties of Tazewell, Woodford, Logan, McLean, and Bureau. The details of the burglaries are:

  • 25, 2019: Midwestern Firearms Company, 829 E. Camp St., East Peoria. Police were alerted at approximately 3:20 a.m. Ten firearms were stolen;
