CAMDEN, Del. — A 17-year-old male was arrested Wednesday on multiple felony gun and drug charges after Delaware State Police executed a search warrant at a residence on East Camden-Wyoming Avenue.

The warrant was part of an investigation by the Kent County Drug Unit into alleged narcotics distribution by the teen from the home. Members of the Governor’s Task Force and the Special Operations Response Team assisted in the operation, which took place on July 16.

Inside the residence, police found two 9mm Glock-style ghost guns, a polymer Glock lower receiver, a 3D-printed handgun switch, 9mm ammunition, heroin, crack cocaine, a digital scale, and drug paraphernalia.

The teen was taken into custody and charged with several felonies, including three counts of possession of a firearm by a person under 21, possession of ammunition by a person under 21, possession of a destructive weapon, two counts of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

He was arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court 2 and committed to the Stevenson House Detention Center.
