The following items were seized from the home:

One 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun

One handgun lower receiver

More than 1,300 rounds of ammunition

Handgun magazines

More than five pounds of marijuana, heroin, methamphetamines and fentanyl

Early version story

Three individuals were apprehended in Fallbrook in a crackdown on drugs and unregistered firearms. The Crime Suppression Team of the Fallbrook Sheriff's Substation, following an extended probe into a home on Los Alisos Drive suspected of illicit drug activities, served a search warrant on February 7.

Authorities confiscated two unregistered firearms-commonly referred to as "ghost guns"-a 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun, a handgun lower receiver, over 1,300 rounds of ammunition, and several handgun magazines. Ghost guns lack serial numbers and can be acquired and assembled privately without background checks.

In excess of five pounds of illegal drugs including marijuana, heroin, methamphetamine, and fentanyl were seized. Other drug paraphernalia was also found.

Ethan Altshul, Ryan Furr, and Cole Nixon were charged with possession of drugs with intent to sell, felonious possession of a firearm, and illegal possession of ammunition. They are currently held at the Vista Detention Facility.
