COVENTRY, CT — Coventry police said they intercepted a ghost gun manufacturing process Friday.

On Friday, Coventry police arrested Matthew George, 47, of Coventry, on the strength of two arrest warrants.

Aside from gun charges, a Risk Warrant and Risk Protection Order were obtained after officers discovered that George had been stalking a family member for several months, police said.

George was arrested and held on a combined $400,000 bond and was to be arraigned in Rockville Superior Court later on Friday, according to an incident report.

The investigation is ongoing, police said.
