Police Seize Firearms from Two Arrestees In Santa Maria

SANTA MARIA, Calif. (KEYT) - Two arrests were made in Santa Maria last night and follow-up warrants seized firearms from the detainees’ residence.

Just before 9:00pm Monday night, Santa Maria police officers responded to tips that a subject with a felony Ramey warrant was spotted at The Pantry, a popular restaurant on Broadway.

Officers were able to take Pedro David Vasquez into custody with reportedly little to no incident.

Subsequent to the arrest, a rollback search warrant was served at his residence, where teams located two illegal ghost guns, 2 P80 lowers, a large amount of ammunition, and evidence of firearm manufacturing.

Vasquez’s apparent roommate, Rodrigo Cervantes-Ramos, was also arrested as a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition.

Both subjects were booked at the northern branch jail.
