Police Find Stolen Gun, Ghost Gun in Wilmington Traffic Stop

Thursday, March 26, 2026 at 10:51 AM

New Castle County detectives conducting routine patrols pulled over a white Toyota Camry for a traffic violation on Governor Printz Boulevard Wednesday evening. The traffic stop led to the discovery of both a stolen firearm and an untraceable ghost gun.

New Castle County police detectives made a significant weapons discovery during what began as a routine traffic enforcement action in Wilmington on Wednesday evening.

Members of the Active Crime Trends Team were patrolling the Governor Printz Boulevard area around 5:42 p.m. on March 25, 2026, when they spotted a white Toyota Camry violating traffic laws. The detectives turned on their emergency equipment and pulled the vehicle over to make contact with the driver.

During the traffic stop, investigators uncovered two illegal firearms – one that had been reported stolen and another ghost gun, which lacks serial numbers that would make it traceable to law enforcement.

The incident highlights ongoing efforts by New Castle County police to remove illegal weapons from local streets through proactive patrol operations in areas experiencing criminal activity.
