Local authorities have made a significant seizure at an East Freetown residence, following a warrant issued due to a combination of observed suspicious behavior and firearm possession violations. On December 4, officers from the Freetown Police Department, while assisting Freetown Fire-Rescue at 9 Gray Oaks Drive, noted the actions of a third party that raised concerns, ultimately uncovering two unsecured firearms inside the home.
Upon further investigation and lacking a valid firearms license on the part of 63-year-old Lance Cambra, a search warrant was obtained and executed at his property, during which police discovered an arsenal of twenty additional firearms, various assortments of ammunition and feeding devices, and bags of what is believed to be oxycodone, a controlled substance working closely to scrutinize and understand the extent of these illegal activities.
A post on the Freetown Police Department's social media page detailed the specifics of Cambra’s arrest following the raid. He was processed at the Freetown Police Station and subsequently transported to Ash Street Jail in New Bedford, MA.
Cambra faced arraignment today with multiple charges against him, including 22 counts of possession of a firearm without an FID Card, one count of possession of ammunition without an FID Card, two counts related to improper storage of a firearm, and one count of possession of a Class B Drug. The Freetown Police Department continues to investigate the case, keeping the public informed of the progress and underscoring the collaboration between the police force and other emergency services in mitigating the risks posed by such illicit activities. Further updates are expected as the case develops.
