HUNTINGTON BEACH...Over the weekend [July 11 & 12, 2026], HBPD officers conducted a traffic stop for vehicle code violations. What started as a routine stop quickly turned into something much more.

During the investigation, officers discovered the driver, a convicted felon, was in possession of a ghost gun, a high-capacity magazine, and narcotics. The suspect was arrested on multiple charges and booked into the HBPD Jail.

A reminder that even the smallest traffic violation can lead to the discovery of much more serious criminal activity. Great work by our officers for staying proactive and helping keep illegal firearms and narcotics off our streets
