Officers Hurwitz, Elton and Jones were patrolling an area where there had been recent burglaries. They made a passing call near a home known for narcotics trafficking where they had made prior arrests. They observed two men who appeared to be loitering in front of the home. Believing the males might be involved in the criminal activity associated with the home, they detained the two individuals.

The individual was placed under arrest and booked at Ingleside station upon confirmation of the warrant. Report Number 110975329
4:23pm Unit Blk Curtis Weapons
Officers Hurwitz and Elton were on patrol when they recognized a known suspect who was on probation walking in the area. The officers stopped to talk to the male who became silent when asked if he was carrying any weapons. After the officers asked him again, he admitted to being in possession of a gun. The officers conducted a search of his person and retrieved a gun, a knife and a baton. He was placed under arrest and Sgt. Lozada responded to the scene. Because the suspect was illegally in possession of a firearm, he was transported to Ingleside station and booked at the instruction of Sgt. Lozada. The officers provided the suspect with a property receipt and booked the gun, the knife and the baton into evidence. Report Number 110975802.
Because a record check of the above confiscated weapon returned as registered to an individual who was on probation, and both subjects resided in a home where several firearms have been seized by officers in the past, Officers Hurwitz and Elton responded to the 200 block of Pope Street to conduct a probation search. They made contact with the registered owner of the gun who answered the door. The suspect is known to the officers to be on probation and is a person prohibited from possessing firearms and/or ammunition. The officers advised the suspect why they were there and he was detained while the officers conducted a search of the home. Their search found various types of ammunition on the floor in one of the bedrooms. The officers advised Sgt. Lozada who contacted the suspect’s probation officer. The probation officer confirmed that the suspect was prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition and authorized the officers to place a probation violation on him. The suspect was transported to Ingleside station where he was booked into custody for the probation violation and illegal possession of ammunition. He was provided with a property receipt and the ammunition was booked into evidence. **BEST ARREST OF THE DAY**
