The Los Angeles Police Department March 26, held several gun buyback events at sites across Los Angeles, including the Wilmington Municipal Building.
Ghost guns are the cause of growing concern, as they can be assembled by unlicensed buyers from kits and are essentially untraceable as they lack serial numbers according to police.
Held at five locations Saturday morning, additional gun buyback events happened in south L.A., in three separate locations, and in Van Nuys.
In exchange for turning in a ghost gun or any unwanted firearm, police officers handed out gift cards worth between $100-200.
In November, the L.A. City Council passed an ordinance to prohibit the possession, purchase, sale receipt and transportation of ghost guns.
As of April 1, possession of a ghost gun is cause for a misdemeanor charge, jail time and a financial penalty, according to police.
