Tony Phan Ho, 32, has been charged with operating a corrupt organization, conspiracy and more than two dozen firearms-law violations.
In a picture obtained by investigators, Tony Ho is seen firing a homemade ghost gun and silencer into his backyard in Hatfield. Ho has been charged with manufacturing and selling at least 15 unregistered ghost guns.A Hatfield man operated a gun-manufacturing workshop out of his home, prosecutors said Wednesday, assembling unregistered “ghost guns” and silencers that he then solicited for sale.
“The true extent of his firearms manufacturing business — as well as the extent of the criminal activities those firearms were then used in — may never be known, especially since privately made firearms have no serial numbers,” Steele said. “These ghost guns are a great danger to the safety of our communities.
Federal investigators began tracking Ho in May, when they were notified of a shipment of silencer components sent to Ho’s home in Hatfield from China, the affidavit said. Montgomery County detectives working with their federal counterparts intercepted the package and arranged to interview Ho.Initially, Ho told the investigators that a friend ordered the silencers accidentally, admitting that he knows he can’t own a firearm legally, the affidavit said.
After the search, Ngoy turned over 15 guns that he said Ho had asked him to hold onto after detectives made their appointment to meet with him. All but one of those firearms were fully functional ghost guns, the affidavit said.
