Further investigation led to the seizure of a loaded ghost gun with a defaced serial number (ghost gun) was recovered from one of the suspects, and officers said the keys to the carjacked car were also located.
Each of the three was charged with armed carjacking, and one of the 17-year-old suspects is also being charged for possessing the handgun.
