Sterling Heights man pleads guilty to exporting gun parts in toys

A Sterling Heights man has pleaded guilty to exporting gun parts to Australia. He hid them inside toy motorcycles in order to avoid detection. Rrok Martin Camaj, a 34-year-old, sent firearm parts to Australia from March 2018 to January 2019. The parts included pistol frames, firing pins, springs, ejectors, and magazines that were sent through the mail to other cohorts. After they arrived in Australia, they were reassembled into "operable firearms."
