As part of a proactive enforcement campaign, Santa Maria police officers arrested two men for firearms violations on Monday.
After learning a suspect with a criminal warrant was eating breakfast at The Pantry, officers responded to the restaurant and took Pedro David Vasquez into custody. Officers then served a search warrant at the suspect’s residence.
During the search, officers found two illegal ghost guns, two P80 lowers, a large amount of ammunition, and evidence of firearm manufacturing.
Officers then arrested a second resident, Rodrigo Cervntes-Ramos, for being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition.
