A three-month law enforcement operation aimed at reducing the number of unserialized"ghost guns" throughout San Diego led to the seizures of 165 firearms -- including 82 ghost guns -- and the prosecution of nearly three dozen people, officials announced Wednesday.
The operation targeted individuals looking to sell ghost guns, including an active-duty Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton who allegedly sold 22 ghost guns to undercover federal agents and agreed to sell 10 more guns that he was told would be taken into Mexico, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
The operation -- dubbed The Privately Made Firearm Crime Reduction Project -- used data to focus enforcement on areas of San Diego where gun violence was on the rise, according to officials.
