Nassau Man Had 'Ghost Guns,' Thousands Of Rounds: Cops

PORT WASHINGTON, NY — A Port Washington man who had numerous so-called "ghost guns" and thousands of rounds of ammunition has been arrested as the result of an FBI anti-terrorism investigation, police said.

John Dejana, 47, of Slocum Avenue, was arrested Thursday and was charged with criminal possession of a weapon, Nassau County police said.

Dejana was the subject of a long-term investigation by the FBI's Long Island Joint Terrorism Task Force, police said. Investigators searched his home and properties Thursday, finding 11 illegal guns that had no identification or serial numbers handguns. Ten of them were inside his home and one was inside his vehicle, police said.

Investigators also found five assault rifles that were deemed not in compliance with state law, as well as a dozen ammunition magazines — also not in compliance with state law — and four ghost gun building kits, police said.

Additionally, investigators found about 3,000 rounds of ammunition, marijuana and anabolic steroids in his home.
