Lompoc Police Detectives from the Special Investigations Unit arrested two known gang members Friday.
Detectives say they attempted to contact Anthony Moralez and Miguel Gamez-Gutierrez, who are known gang members and on active probation.
When attempting to make contact detectives say the two men fled. While fleeing Moralez reportedly took a firearm that he was carrying and dropped it in a window of a nearby home. Detectives were able to catch up to Moralez and take him into custody.
Detectives searched the home and said they found a non-serialized firearm, or a "ghost gun" in a child's bedroom.
Moralez was arrested on numerous weapons violation charges and Gutierrez was arrested for a violation of probation.
