Julia Fox's Dad and Brother Arrested on Drug and Gun Charges: Report

The actress's brother and father were taken into custody after police issued a search warrant.

Julia Fox's brother, Christopher Fox, and father, Thomas Fox, were arrested early Wednesday. March 8, per reports. 

The New York Post cited the NYPD, noting that the two relatives of the Uncut Gems star, 33, were arrested after police issued a search warrant for their Manhattan apartment where they found ghost guns—guns without traceable serial numbers—and evidence of narcotics manufacturing.

Sources told the outlet that the raid of the Upper East Side home was part of a larger ghost gun investigation.

Police also recovered 3D printers and polymer material, along with unidentified pills, a pill press, fentanyl, chloroform, heroin, propane, formaldehyde, and other materials often used to make explosives such as pressure cookers. Thousands of dollars of high-end wine bottles were also found in the mix.

“The NYPD’s Ghost Gun Team seized several ghost gun parts as well as equipment for pressing narcotics pills,” a spokesperson told the outlet. “Team members also discovered materials typically used as components in explosives, including pressure cookers and various chemicals, which can also be used for manufacturing narcotics.”

Authorities determined the chemicals were not hazardous.

According to CBS News, Christopher Fox has been charged with criminal possession of controlled substances, manufacture of a machine gun, and manufacture of rapid-fire mod devices. Her father's charges appear to be unknown at this time. 

CBS News also got in touch with some neighbors, with one in particular calling the situation "disturbing."

"It's disturbing that happens. It's disturbing he has access to those gun parts to be able to make ghost guns. I find that the most disturbing part, but I'm glad he was caught," the unidentified neighbor explained. 

Police say that the situation is contained with no apparent connection to terrorism, though the investigation is ongoing.

Investigators were originally tipped off by suspicious online purchases delivered to the address, per NYP.
