Fall River police arrested a 22-year-old man on felony firearms offenses during a traffic stop after the man allegedly had a handgun without a license.
A New Bedford man was convicted last week of hiding an illegal firearm in the air vents of a shared apartment and sentenced to three years in state prison.
The New Bedford Police gang unit took a Smith and Wesson 9mm handgun and a large capacity magazine loaded with 15 rounds of ammunition off the streets Monday, and made an arrest.
