3 arrested, including 2 minors, after ghost guns found in New York City day care

Three people, including two minors, were arrested after multiple 3D-printed firearms were found inside a Manhattan day care, New York City officials said Wednesday.

The arrests come nearly two weeks after a 1-year-old boy died of suspected fentanyl exposure and two other children overdosed at a Bronx day care.

The Manhattan operation is a family day care site and inside someone's home - similar to the day care in the Bronx, according to Christina Chang, executive deputy commissioner and chief program officer with the NYC Department of Health & Mental Hygiene.

Police executed three search warrants Tuesday at the day care as part of a "long-term investigation into the manufacture and sale of privately-made firearms," Rebecca Weiner, the New York City Police Department's deputy commissioner of intelligence and counterterrorism Bureau, told reporters.

Inside the East Harlem day care, law enforcement recovered several 3D-printed firearms, along with a 3D printer and 3D printing tools, Weiner said. The untraceable homemade weapons are known as "ghost guns."

"This is a heartbreaking scenario of thinking that you're dropping your child off to a place of save haven, just to find out that it was a dangerous environment where someone was making a gun inside," Mayor Eric Adams said.

Police said Karon Jamal Coley, 18, was arrested for his involvement in printing the firearms. It's unclear if Coley has an attorney.
