The Atlantic City Police Department culminated an investigation into the illegal possession of firearms resulting in an arrest and weapons recovery.
On November 7, detectives of the department’s Special Investigations Section and SWAT Team executed a court authorized search warrant in the 1600 block of Adriatic Avenue. The target of the investigation, 19 year old Qumar Gilliam-Winborn Jr., of Atlantic City was taken into custody without incident. Inside the residence, detectives recovered two handguns and five pounds of marijuana. Each handgun had been previously reported stolen in Washington DC and North Carolina respectively. One of the handguns was equipped with a device that turned it from a semi-automatic weapon to fully automatic.
