Raleigh police told WRAL Investigates it does not track the number of ghost guns it recovers. “Once they were able to be purchased online and these YouTube tutorials were being made, that’s when they became popular.” “Where we were seeing them maybe once or twice a year, seeing them now once or twice a week,” explained Ally Anderson, DPD’s Firearm Unit Supervisor. In a report published earlier this year, the agency noted a 1,083% increase in ghost guns it received from law enforcement between the years of 20, when more than 19,000 ghost guns were recovered. Nationally, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is tracking the trend. By 2022, that number had spiked to 71, and continues at a similar pace, with 25 seized as of May of this year. In the city of Durham, police told WRAL Investigates the number of ghost guns they are encountering is increasing dramatically.
