Police are cracking down on Glock switches

The probe came after authorities discovered a package from China with a Glock switch inside but allowed it to be delivered to the home before last week's raid, CBS reported.

"It's scary for everyone," Cmdr. Ryan Conner said, per the outlet."At that age, do they have the ability to know right from wrong? What are their intentions with these weapons? Do they have the maturity? There's a lot that goes through our minds about those crimes."

Police have been raising awareness about the Glock switch, an illegal device that can turn "a regular handgun into almost a machine-style weapon," Capt. Marcus Thirlkill told WXYZ-TV in July.

The local news station reported at the time that people were purchasing them online or creating them using 3D printers.

Per the outlet, police said that they are currently investigating whether weapons made in the home were distributed on the street.
