Ghost Gun, Ammo Seized In Peninsula Traffic Stop

BROADMOOR, CA —A Peninsula traffic stop early Sunday morning led to the arrest of a suspect on weapons charges and the recovery of an unserialized “ghost” gun and ammunition, Broadmoor police said.

A 25-year-old Hayward resident was arrested on unspecified charges and booked into San Mateo County Jail, police said.

An officer initiated the traffic stop on a suspected vehicle code violation, police said.

“The officer saw a metal clip along the driver’s beltline and the possible imprint outline of a firearm,” the agency wrote on its Facebook page.

“A search of the driver revealed he was carrying a loaded non-serialized Glock style handgun concealed in his pants. A search of the vehicle found suspected drugs and additional pistol magazines, including an illegal high-capacity magazine. “
