Detectives from the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office and the Warren Police Department executed search warrants at a home in the 8700 block of Maxwell Avenue in Warren on June 9.
There, authorities said they found the following items during the search:
- Draco AK-47 style pistol
- Two 3D printed Glock handgun frames
- Nine Machine Gun Conversion Devices (MCDs), often referred to as “Glock switches”
- 3D printer
- Multiple magazines and ammunition
- Firearm components and accessories used in the manufacture of untraceable “ghost guns”
The sheriff’s office said a Glock switch is a conversion device that can be attached to a semi-automatic handgun that can make it function as a fully-automatic handgun.
“Ghost guns,” according to authorities, are privately-made guns that typically do not have serial numbers, making it hard or even impossible to trace.
“This case highlights the growing threat posed by illegal firearm conversion devices and the manufacturing of untraceable firearms,” said Sheriff Anthony M. Wickersham. “These modified handguns are capable of firing at an alarming rate, placing our communities at significant risk. I commend the members of SET and our law enforcement partners for removing these dangerous weapons and devices from our streets.”
Corey and Elijah were arraigned in court. Corey was given a $100,000 cash bond and is required to wear a GPS tether upon release. Elijah was given a $75,000 cash bond and is also required to wear a GPS tether upon release.
Both were ordered not to contact each other. They remain lodged at the Macomb County Jail.
