    WORCESTER — Worcester police arrested a 20-year-old man after an untraceable gun was discovered following a crash Monday night on Chandler Street.

    Officers with the Worcester Police Department were dispatched to Chandler Street shortly after 7 p.m. for a report of a motor vehicle crash with injuries. When officers arrived, they found a man lying in the roadway near a moped, with debris scattered across the street.

    The man was transported to a hospital by ambulance, police said.

    A short time later, officers were given a cross-body bag that had been removed from the man while he was in the ambulance. Inside the bag, police located a gun that was determined to be untraceable and lacked a serial number, commonly referred to as a ghost gun.

    Further investigation determined the man, identified as Kayo Nascimento of Worcester, does not have a license to carry a gun.

    Nascimento was charged with carrying a gun without a license, carrying a loaded gun without a license, improper storage of a gun, carrying ammunition without an FID card, and defacing the serial number of a gun.
