Ghost guns, which can be built at home using tools like 3D printers, are a rising problem in Massachusetts, officials said.
Law enforcement officials are warning the public about the threat that ghost guns pose after officers seized illegal weapons on multiple occasions in recent weeks.
Ghost guns are untraceable weapons that are privately assembled. They are often the result of kits being sold online, and pieces of ghost guns can be made using 3D printers. They do not have serial numbers.
In a release Tuesday, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and Massachusetts State Police Colonel John E. Mawn, Jr. confirmed that their two offices have been collaborating on multiple investigations. These have resulted in the seizures of several ghost guns, as well as the parts and equipment used to make them.
