District 4 officers and detectives were investigating suspicious activity in the Hyde Park neighborhood. A 30-year-old male was arrested after being found in possession of a Glock .45 caliber handgun and a large quantity of suspected narcotics. The arrested man was found to be a convicted felon. A juvenile was also found in possession of a 9mm handgun; however, was unable to be charged due to there being no age restriction on possessing firearms in the state of Missouri. A Glock 9mm handgun with a drum magazine was also located nearby which could not be linked to any individual.
