Julia Fox is known for her debut performance in the 2019 film Uncut Gems, but more so as Kanye West’s ex-girlfriend. However, the model’s father and brother have landed themselves in hot water as they were recently arrested after a 6 AM raid by NYPD on their apartment.
According to law enforcement sources, Fox’s father, Thomas Fox, and brother, Christopher Fox were arrested by police on Wednesday. According to reports by RadarOnline, cops searched their residence following a tip from a neighbor about doubtful online delivery men showing up.
According to sources, police discovered 3D printers assumed to be used to produce guns without traceable serial numbers. Officers also discovered formaldehyde, heroin, chloroform, unknown pills, a pill press, fentanyl, propane, and explosive materials. The police also discovered vintage wine worth thousands of dollars.
According to the Daily Mail, Thomas and Christopher have no prior criminal record. “The NYPD’s Ghost Gun Team seized several ghost gun parts as well as equipment for pressing narcotics pills,” a spokesperson for the NYPD said regarding the raid.
“Team members also discovered materials typically used as components in explosives, including pressure cookers and various chemicals, which can also be used for manufacturing narcotics.”
The spokesperson stated that they did not think Christopher and Thomas were a danger to the neighborhood. “At this time, the matter is believed to be contained, with no apparent nexus to terrorism,” the rep said.
“The NYPD will continue to fight relentlessly against illegal guns – against both the steady proliferation of traditionally-manufactured firearms and the increasingly prevalent numbers of illegal, untraceable but fully functioning weapons known as ghost guns.”
Julia Fox was not in New York when her family was taken into custody. As of now, the model has not made any public statement regarding the situation. Keep an eye on Thirsty For News to get the latest updates regarding the ongoing case.
