A 32-year-old man with suspected gang ties has been charged with multiple firearms offences after two loaded guns, including a “ghost gun,” were found in a truck in Delta, B.C.
Delta police pulled the truck over on Nov. 24 at 4:20 am. at 80th Avenue and Scott Road for not having any lights on. One of two officers conducting the traffic stop saw a loaded handgun in “plain view,” and the driver was arrested, police said in a Wednesday news release.
Upon searching the truck, officers uncovered a second, loaded “ghost gun.”

“A ghost gun is a firearm that is produced or partially produced through the manufacturing of some parts using machining and/or 3-D printing, making the gun untraceable,” reads the release from the Delta Police Department.
The suspect was charged with four counts of unauthorized possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm and one count of unauthorized possession of a restricted oversized magazine. He was also charged with two counts of possessing a restricted or prohibited firearm without a license, and two counts of occupying a vehicle knowing such a weapon was inside.
