Along with Christopher Fox, two other delinquents have been arrested for having criminal nexus of similar charges. Their identity is not revealed by the Police Department as there is no concrete proof against them.
The Neighbours is horrified and scared after this incident and are also glad and thankful to the Ghost Gun Team to have nabbed the criminals at the early stage.
The NYPD further added to its statement that it is a battle against the proliferation of ghost guns and illegal weapons which the department would soon combat and till then it would relentlessly fight against it. Ghost Guns are untraceable but are fully operational firearms hence being a big task. Ghost Guns are built from kits and hence do not have any serial numbers and are sold without any bills and checks. This is the reason why these guns can be easily acquired and problematic for the NYPD as it is untraceable.
