A sting operation led to the arrest of a 49-year-old Greenwich man and the seizure of ghost guns, firearms, and cocaine, officials say.

A sting operation led by law enforcement across Connecticut and New York resulted in the arrest of a 49-year-old Greenwich man and the seizure of ghost guns, firearms, large-capacity magazines and cocaine, according to Westchester County District Attorney Susan Cacace.

Michael Larriuz, 49, is being charged with first-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance — a class A-I felony, one of the most serious charges under New York law — as well as first-degree sale of a firearm and five counts of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, Cacace said.

“The unheralded work of public safety is the gunshot wound that doesn't exist, the overdose that can't occur and the drug deal that never happens,” Cacace said in a statement about the arrest.

The undercover operation was led by the District Attorney's Criminal Investigators Squad, alongside the FBI's Westchester Safe Streets Task Force, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (Homeland Security Investigations), the Putnam County Sheriff's Office and the Greenwich Police Department, according to Cacace.

“The arrest of Michael Larriuz on both drug and illegal gun charges is a clear example of the dangerous criminal activity these joint enforcement efforts are designed to disrupt,” said FBI NY Assistant Director in Charge James C. Barnacle, Jr.

Larriuz appeared in a White Plains court for his arraignment last week, where bail was set at $100,000 cash/$250,000 bond/$500,000 partially secured bond, according to the District Attorney's Office.

“I am very happy with the cooperation and work that our departments did together, and I am proud that we were able to get these illegal weapons off our streets,” said Greenwich Police Chief James Heavey.
