Stolen plate alert led to meth, scales, and a gun pulled from a BMW in Annapolis
Annapolis, MD – A late-night traffic stop in Annapolis turned into a major weapons and drug bust Tuesday after detectives discovered methamphetamine, stolen plates, and an illegal firearm inside a gray BMW, according to Anne Arundel County Police.
Around 10:55 p.m. on August 26, detectives from the Eastern District were alerted by a license plate reader to a vehicle carrying stolen Virginia registration tags. Officers located the 2007 BMW in the 400 block of Sixth Street and pulled it over. The driver and passenger were detained without incident.
A search of the vehicle uncovered approximately 62 grams of suspected methamphetamine, two glass smoking devices with suspected drug residue, four digital scales, and a black foldable IC380 handgun. Investigators determined that the driver was prohibited from possessing firearms.
Both occupants were arrested. Police identified them as Thong Chi Nhan, 43, of Windsor Mill, and Autumn Rain Burgamy, 27, of Dundalk. Each faces multiple charges related to controlled dangerous substances (CDS) and weapons violations.
The pair were transported to a local detention facility for booking. Authorities say the case remains active as further investigation is underway.
