Julia Fox‘s father and brother were arrested Wednesday after cops found a litany of disturbing items in their Manhattan apartment.
In an early morning raid, Christopher and Thomas Fox were found with ghost guns, bomb-making materials and evidence of narcotics manufacturing.
Investigators also discovered 3D printers inside the property that they believe are used to make ghost guns – firearms without traceable serial numbers.
Unidentified pills, a pill press, fentanyl, pressure cookers, chloroform, heroin, propane, explosives materials and formaldehyde were also reportedly snared.

Law enforcement swooped in on the pair’s 86th Street apartment at 6am Wednesday
Both relatives of the actress, who is best known for starring in Uncut Gems, were taken into custody after being arrested at their 84th street home.
Their arrest reportedly came as part of a larger NYPD investigation into the proliferation of ghost guns across the Big Apple.
The raid, which was carried out at 6am, was executed by a major case field intelligence team.
In an interview with High Snobiety in 2019, Julia said she does not often see her father or brother.
She described her brother as a ‘mad scientist’, who ‘builds 3D printers for fun.’
Following the raid, an NYPD spokesperson said: ‘The NYPD’s Ghost Gun Team seized several ghost gun parts as well as equipment for pressing narcotics pills.
‘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.’
While a series of troubling items, including bomb making materials, were discovered in the apartment, authorities say they do not believe there is a threat to the public.
‘At this time, the matter is believed to be contained, with no apparent nexus to terrorism,’ the spokesperson added.
‘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.’
Charges against the Christopher and Thomas Fox, the father and brother of Julia, pictured, are still pending and they remain in custody
Neither Christopher nor Thomas Fox have a criminal history.
However, a law enforcement source added to The Post that the duo had an ‘inordinate amount of stuff’ in their possession.
The pair were put on law enforcement’s radar after they were tipped off when suspicious online purchases were sent to their Manhattan apartment.
The actress is not believed to have any knowledge of her relative’s alleged crimes, and was reportedly not in New York at the time of the raid.
