We're always investing in your safety. District 4 officers stopped a vehicle with improper plates near Fairground Park. During the stop, a passenger tried to flee on foot. SLMPD K9 Admiral responded and the suspect was arrested and a firearm was located.
Officers located an additional firearm in the vehicle while two other suspects attempted to flee but were quickly taken into custody with the assistance of a SWAT officer.
In total, three suspects were taken into custody, two illegal firearms were seized, and a large amount of marijuana was recovered from one of the suspects.
This is great work by the entire team to get these dangerous crime guns off the streets!
