Floral Park man indicted for possessing ghost guns and firearm modification devices

December 11, 2024

MINEOLA, N.Y. — A Floral Park man has been indicted on multiple charges after a search of his home revealed ghost guns, firearm parts, and devices capable of converting pistols into fully automatic weapons, Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly announced.

Parmbir Singh, 23, was arraigned Monday before Judge Robert Bogle on charges that include two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, four counts of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, and additional firearm-related offenses. Singh, who pleaded not guilty, is being held on $500,000 cash bail, $1.25 million bond, or $2.5 million partially secured bond. He faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

The investigation, led by a joint task force including the Nassau County District Attorney’s Office, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Nassau County Sheriff’s Department, and the NYPD, began after Singh was flagged for making dozens of online purchases of firearm parts over 19 months. Investigators determined that Singh lacked the required permits to legally possess firearms in Nassau County and was already on probation.

A search warrant executed on November 20, 2024, uncovered two completed and loaded ghost guns hidden in secret compartments in Singh’s bedroom and attic. Additional discoveries included a 3D printer, pistol parts, a shotgun, high-capacity magazines, a lower receiver for an assault weapon, and two rapid-fire modification devices designed to make pistols fully automatic.

“This defendant allegedly purchased firearm parts online with a very clear vision: to manufacture and assemble untraceable ghost gun pistols in his Floral Park home,” DA Donnelly said. “These weapons pose a serious threat to our communities, and we are committed to removing them from the streets.”

Singh was arrested the same day by HSI, the Nassau County Sheriff’s Department, and the NYPD Financial Crimes Task Force. Authorities said this year alone, over 270 illegal guns have been recovered in Nassau County, along with thousands of rounds of ammunition and dozens of high-capacity magazines.

The case is being prosecuted by Deputy Bureau Chief Lee Genser of the Narcotics, Firearms, and Gangs Bureau.

Authorities say the seizure of two loaded ghost guns in a Floral Park home underscores the growing threat of untraceable weapons.
