Several weapons were seized by police during a recent investigation, according to the Fontana Police Department.

The incident began as a probe by the P.D.’s Rapid Response Team into the illegal sales of firearms and narcotics, the P.D. said in a Facebook post on Feb. 9.

An involved person was contacted as he was sitting in his vehicle. A search revealed a short barrel AR-15 rifle and a ghost gun.

A search warrant was then served at his residence, where two AR-15 rifles, a stolen 1911 handgun, three additional ghost guns, along with two ounces of cocaine and a bag of ecstasy pills were seized.

In other recent incidents in Fontana:

• A vehicle check was conducted in a local shopping center and the driver was on felony probation. A search of the vehicle revealed a loaded handgun and more than two ounces of methamphetamine.
