Gregory Carleton also was found to have a cache of weapons in his car and home, they said.
On Jan. 17, 2018, members of the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office Gangs, Guns, and Narcotics Unit with assistance from the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, and the Hammonton Police Department arrested Carleton in Hammonton after he was observed selling a ghost gun, the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office said.
After the arrest, a search warrant was executed on Carleton’s vehicle, a Mercedes Benz R320, where two additional handguns were located, one of which was a ghost gun. Another search warrant was then executed at Carleton’s residence in Marlton. Approximately 23 handguns (15 ghost guns), and six rifles and shotguns were recovered from the residence, the prosecutor said.
In addition, there was equipment, devices, tools, and mechanisms, including undocumented handgun and rifle uppers and lowers, frames, bolts, and receivers that Carleton was utilizing to make complete and operable firearms, the prosecutor said.
