While in Greenfield, officers contacted 20-year-old Angel Rivera of Greenfield and 18-year-old Victor Torres of Salinas on the 200 block of Tawny Port Way. Officers found three firearms that included two Glock-style 9mm “ghost” guns, and a .40 caliber Smith and Wesson semiautomatic handgun. In addition, two gun magazines were also located, one of which was an extended magazine. Both men were arrested and booked into the Monterey County Jail on multiple firearms related charges.
