In a series of coordinated law enforcement efforts across New York, police officers have successfully recovered multiple illegal firearms and apprehended several individuals. Officers from the 017th District in Chicago recovered a semi-automatic handgun and took a subject into custody. In New York, NYPD 115th Precinct officers resolved a verbal dispute involving a weapon and arrested a man with a loaded firearm hidden in a box. A 30-year-old wanted for assault was arrested by NYPD Transit cops in the Bronx for evading subway fare and carrying a loaded gun. The NYPD 49th Precinct's Conditions Team also made an arrest in the Bronx of an individual with an illegal ghost gun. Additionally, NYPD officers from the same precinct apprehended a man with a loaded, defaced firearm. These incidents highlight the ongoing efforts by police to combat illegal firearms and ensure public safety.
