Arrests for assault and robbery in Ramona

East County News Service

Unlike guns made by a licensed manufacturer, ghost guns do not have a serial number or other identifiable markings. The lack of a serial number makes it extremely difficult for law enforcement to trace these firearms back to their owner or manufacturer, hindering or delaying investigations and crime-solving efforts.

Deputies arrested an 18-year-old male, Jahziel Hayes, and a 16-year-old juvenile. Hayes is charged with robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and possession of an illegal firearm. He was booked into the San Diego Central Jail.

The youth was arrested for robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and illegal possession of a firearm. He was sent to the juvenile detention center.
