FBI Arrests Drug Ring That Also Sold 'Ghost Gun' AR-15s:
https://www.officer.com/investigations/news/21154428/fbi-arrests-drug-ring-that-also-sold-ghost-gun-ar15s
The early morning arrests across Los Angeles County and the Inland Empire were the culmination of Operation “Black Phoenix,” which identified 25 suspects involved in illicit narcotics and gun trades. Four of those identified were already in custody, officials said, while three remained at large.
Six of the accused were involved in a single drug deal involving several pounds of methamphetamine, officials said. One of the seven indictments filed by prosecutors alleges a series of meth sales that include two 1-pound deals and four 2-pound transactions.
In two other indictments unsealed Tuesday, prosecutors detailed illegal weapons sales involving ghost guns. Dau Quay Duong, 53, and Christopher Nguyen, 47, both of Ontario, are charged with illegal firearm sales, accused of selling five AR-15-type rifles with no make, model or serial numbers.
In another indictment, Jonathan Domingo Go, 47, of Torrance, was charged with illegally selling three firearms — two .40-caliber pistols and a 5.56mm assault pistol, which also lacked a manufacturing mark and serial number.
