Officers with the guns and gangs and tactical support units executed a search warrant at a home in the 300 block of Edison Avenue around 9:30 p.m.

Police say investigators found 17.5 grams of fentanyl, 23 grams of meth, as well as a .40 calibre 3D-printed gun, ammo, and two ballistic vests inside the home.

“Ghost guns” are untraceable, unserialized homemade firearms that are either assembled from other weapon parts, or purchased as a kit and then assembled at home. 3D printers can produce “ghost gun” parts which can then be assembled into a functional firearm.

The seized drugs have a combined street value of $8,750, police say.
