"CAMPBELL Authorities announced the arrest of a man they say was making illegal firearms, including ghost guns, out of his Campbell apartment, which was revealed when police paid him a visit to check on his compliance with his domestic violence probation. The discovery was made this week as Santa Clara County law enforcement agencies conducted a sweep timed with Domestic Violence Awareness Month focused on ensuring people were abiding by the conditions of their probation supervision."
"He was also charged with child endangerment based on allegations that guns and gun components were within reach of two children living at the home. Officers and personnel from San Jose and Santa Clara police, the sheriff's office, county probation, and DA investigators many of whom form the county's Gun Violence Task Force run by the DA's office visited the Campbell man's apartment and quickly found an array of guns and gun-making machinery, authorities said."
A 28-year-old Campbell resident was charged with over 30 felonies including machine gun possession, manufacturing machine guns, felony gun possession, and child endangerment. Law enforcement found two loaded guns, three nearly-completed guns, 35 devices designed to convert semi-automatic firearms to fully automatic fire, and a 3D printer producing gun parts. Officers from San Jose and Santa Clara police, the county sheriff’s office, county probation, and district attorney investigators executed the probation compliance visit and located the weapons and machinery. All firearms were described as ghost guns without serial numbers and not intended to be serialized, reducing traceability.
