SAN DIEGO—A three-month law enforcement operation aimed at reducing the number of unserialized “ghost guns” throughout San Diego led to the seizures of 165 firearms—including 82 ghost guns—and the prosecution of 29 people, officials announced May 31.

From February through May, nearly 90 separate law enforcement operations were conducted, leading both to the firearms seized and the recovery of large quantities of fentanyl, meth, and cocaine, officials said.
