LAPD HQ: Newton Gang Enforcement officers continue their stellar work. Last night they made a stop & discovered fresh blood inside the car. During a search of the car they found a gun which they tied to a shooting in South LA. The driver was arrested for Felon in Possession of a Firearm. Another stop revealed the driver was on probation for a firearm offense, and inside the car they found a 9mm gun. A search of his home led to an AK-47, MAC-11 with silencer, high capacity magazines & high powered ammo. He was also arrested for Felon in Possession of a Firearm. This proactive police work by LAPD officers underscores the proliferation of guns and firepower on our streets, many times at the hands of gang members—and arrests like these are difference makers in saving lives.
