Julia Fox’s father, brother busted as cops find ghost guns in apt : sources

Julia Fox’s dad and brother were arrested Wednesday after cops raided their Manhattan apartment and found ghost guns and evidence of narcotics manufacturing, law enforcement sources said.

Police descended on the Upper East Side home of Christopher and Thomas Fox around 6 a.m. as part of a larger ghost gun investigation, sources told The Post.

Investigators recovered ghost guns — which are guns without traceable serial numbers that are often sold piecemeal — as well as 3D-printed parts like lower receivers and 3D printers.

They also found unidentified pills, a pill press, fentanyl, chloroform, heroin, propane and formaldehyde, according to the sources.

Thousands upon thousands of high-end wine bottles were found mixed in with the contraband, the sources said.

Both relatives of the “Uncut Gems” star were taken into custody at their 84th Street home following the raid. Charges against them are pending, sources said.

Neither man has a prior criminal history.

The source said the pair had an “inordinate amount of stuff” for people not previously on cops’ radar.

The actress and model had talked in the past about growing up in the city with her single dad and brother, who she said she didn’t see often.

“He’s like a mad scientist recluse,” Julia said of her brother in the interview. “He builds 3D printers for fun.”

Relatives also described him to The Post as a “mad scientist” type who liked do experiments, but said he was a gentle guy who “wouldn’t hurt a fly” and tends to be more withdrawn.

Investigators were tipped off from suspicious online purchases that were delivered to the address, the source said.

Neighbors told The Post they saw men in Hazmat suits going in and out of the apartment building “all day.”

The last of the officers headed out of the building with a box of papers and wires about 12 hours after the initial raid.

Julia was out of New York during the raid and is not believed to have known about her family’s alleged crimes, sources said.
