THE BUREAU OF ALCOHOL AND
FIREARMS SAYS SMASHING GRABS
LIKE THIS ARE ON THE RISE.
THEY OFTEN TELL THE GUNS TO
OTHERS WHO USE THEM TO COMMIT
CRIMES.
THOSE GUNS COULD END UP ON
AN UNDERLYING NETWORK WHERE
CRIMINALS LURK, IT'S CALLED THE
DARK NET -- DARK WEB.
YOU WILL FIND FAKE IDS AND
COUNT -- COUNTERFEIT CURRENCY.
Reporter: THIS MARKETPLACE
ANOTHER PLACE -- AND OTHER
PLACES LIKE IT ACTUALLY HIDE
YOUR LOCATION.
[ NAME INDISCERNIBLE ] GAVE US
AN INSIDE LOOK AT THE DARK WEB.
WITHIN SECONDS WE FOUND
HARROWING, COCAINE AND
MARIJUANA FOR SALE.
Reporter: HOW MANY DIFFERENT
PEOPLE ARE SELLING IT AT ANY
TIME?
RIGHT NOW YOU CAN SEE THERE
ARE OVER 15,000 HITS FOR JUST
DRUMS ALONE.
Reporter: WE ALSO FOUND FAKE
ILLINOIS DRIVERS LICENSES,
CREDIT CARDS AND BANK
INFORMATION AND DANGEROUS
WEAPONS.
THIS LOOKS TO BE AN ASSAULT
RIFLE, AK-47.
--
Reporter: HOW MUCH DOES
ITSELF OR?
IT WOULD BE ABOUT $4000.
Reporter: YOU CAN BUY THE
COINS AT MACHINES LIKE THIS ONE
USING CASH -- AND LEAVING VERY
LITTLE EVIDENCE OF YOUR
IDENTITY.
THIS MAKES IT HARDER FOR
AUTHORITIES TO CATCH CRIMINALS
BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE.
WE ARE FOCUSED ON THE TOP
OFFENDERS AND MOST DANGEROUS
ACTORS THAT ARE BUYING AND
SELLING AND TRAFFICKING.
Reporter: IN 2014 A CHILD
PORNOGRAPHY RING WAS BUSTED
WITH SEVERAL VICTIMS FROM THE
CHICAGO AREA..
-- THE CHICAGO AREA.
SOME OF THE DRUGS BOUGHT ON
THIS MARKETPLACE WORK SHIFT
THROUGH O'HARE.
BOTH OF THE SITES WERE SHUT
DOWN BUT MANY OTHERS STILL
EXIST.
IT'S JUST LIKE DRUG DEALING.
YOU TAKE ONE GUY OFF THE CORNER
AND 3 REPLACE HIM. Reporter:
LAST YEAR HE HELPED ARREST 19-
YEAR-OLD BRANDON WILSON WHO
ALLEGEDLY CONDUCTED HACKS ON
THE DARK WEB.
KIDS ARE SO INTELLIGENT AND
SCARY.
THEY CAN BE DOING SO MUCH GOOD
INSTEAD OF CREATING SO MUCH
HAVOC.
Reporter: HE WARNS PARENTS
TO GET INVOLVED TO KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT THEIR KIDS ARE DOING
ONLINE.
AS FOR CRIMINALS USING THE DARK
WEB, HE BELIEVES IT'S JUST A
MATTER OF TIME.
THEY GET GREEDY AND THEY GET
POMPOUS AND THEN THEY GET
CAUGHT. Reporter: LIONEL
MOISE, "CBS 2 NEWS".
BRANDON WILSON IS AWAITING
TRIAL AS FOR THE DEEP WEB
