A West Greenwich man is being federally detained in connection to the seizure of a half-dozen "ghost guns".
According to the Justice Department, there were also three silencers and more than a thousand rounds of ammunition seized from the home of Walter Garbecki, a convicted felon prohibited from possessing the items.
According to charging materials- "Garbecki, was previously convicted in Rhode Island state court on charges of sale or possession of silencers; unlawful devices attached to a semi-automatic weapon allowing automatic fire; possession of a firearm while delivering or manufacturing a controlled substance; and drug trafficking."
He was released from the Rhode Island Adult Correctional Institutions in September 2020 and is currently on state probation until September 2030.
The United States Postal Inspection Service tipped off authorities about the ghost gun parts being mailed to Garbecki's address.
