Amateur Armorer Charged After Warrant

A month-long investigation into a Lancaster City man resulted in a search warrant at his home in the 500 block of First Street.

During the month of April 2022, the Selective Enforcement Unit (SEU) conducted an investigation into the sale and construction of firearms and peddling of drugs from the man’s home. On May 7th SEU officers, with the assistance of the Lancaster County Special Emergency Response Team, conducted a search warrant at the address.

As a result of the search warrant, two rifles and a plethora of gun smithing tools and firearm parts were located and seized. Ammunition for handguns and rifles as well as packaging materials for drugs were also found which lead to numerous felony and misdemeanor charges against the man, who is a prior felon.

Thank you to the members of the Selective Enforcement Unit for your commitment and bravery. This investigation will no doubt help Lancaster City continue to be a safe place to be.
