A student at a Brooklyn public high school tried to smuggle a loaded “ghost gun” and about $30,000 in cash onto campus, cops said Wednesday.

Police described the gun as a build-it-yourself “loaded polymer ghost gun” which have no serial numbers for police to track.

The 17-year-old student showed up late for class shortly before 11:55 a.m. Wednesday, school safety sources said. As the teen announced his late attendance, a secretary in the school’s administrative office saw what looked like a gun in his book bag and told a dean, who then alerted school safety agents, the sources said.

Cops arrived at the Adams St. school to arrest the teen and confiscate the gun, along with $30,000 in stacks of $100s, $50s and $5s.

30 grand in cash. In the possession of a 17 year old.
This is really creepy!

3. Yes, Could Be

30 grand sounds kind of big time, too.
Not 10 keys of coke, big time, but still pretty big, if drug business is involved.

4. Definitely up to something shady!

5. Or...

What if his home made gun was a demo and he just made a deal to make some more and got the $$ for his product?
