Prosecutors say the arrests came after a long-term investigation into the defendants’ purchase of ghost guns.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.Two Queens men were arrested last week after investigators uncovered a stockpile of illegal weapons in their possession, according to the Queens District Attorney’s Office.
Officials discovered a dozen illegal firearms, including ghost guns, high-capacity magazines, ammunition and gun manufacturing tools between Lall’s home and storage unit on Hillside Avenue in Jamaica, Salamalay’s home on 89th Avenue and his Manhattan office. A loaded, semi-automatic ghost gun pistol and two Glock-style ghost guns were found in the raid, along with a slew of other firearms. Other weapons seized included several revolvers, a 5.56 caliber assault pistol loaded with 30 rounds, 18 high-capacity ammunition feeding devices capable of holding more than 10 rounds, and two handheld drill press devices and a sight pusher, which are tools used to make ghost guns.
Neither of the men had permits to own guns in New York City, according to the DA’s office. Both face 15 years in prison if convicted.
