Teenager Arrested for Possession of Firearms and Narcotics

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office has arrested a Wimauma teenager after uncovering illegal firearms and narcotics.
 
On July 16, 2025, detectives launched an investigation after discovering
information that an individual was in possession of multiple firearms, including a modified Glock and AR-style pistols.
 
Through investigative means, detectives connected a home in Wimauma  to the suspect Christian Galvan Lumbreras, 17.
 
On July 31, 2025, a search warrant was served at the residence with assistance from HCSO’s SWAT Team. During the search, the following firearms were located and seized:

  • Glock 19 with a machine gun conversion device
  • Glock 22 with an extended magazine
  • Radical Firearms AR-Pistol (Short Barrel Rifle)
  • Anderson M15 Carbine (Short Barrel Rifle)
  • Glock 27
  • Sig P365
  • DT AR Pistol
 
In addition to the firearms, multiple extended and drum magazines were located, along with crack cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana, and fentanyl.
 
Galvan Lumbreras was arrested and is facing the following charges:
  • Minor in Possession of a Firearm X4
  • Possession of an Operable Machine Gun
  • Possession of a Short Barrel Rifle X2 
“This teenager had no business possessing this kind of firepower. The combination of illegal guns and deadly drugs could have easily led to a tragedy,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. “We will not allow our neighborhoods to be overtaken by illegal firearms and deadly narcotics. HCSO will continue to hold individuals responsible who threaten the safety of our community."
 
This is an active investigation, and additional charges may be forthcoming.
Any updates will come from the Public Affairs Office.
