INDIANAPOLIS — A deadly device that turns a handgun into a machine gun is being found across Indianapolis streets at an alarming rate for the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office.
Cases involving “glock switches” increased by 236% last year, according to the MCPO.
“That’s really an astronomical number. It was one of the areas where we had by far our largest growth in terms of the number of cases that we prosecuted and the number of charges that were filed,” said Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears.
Mears says 111 possession of machine gun cases were filed.
