New Bedford Police Arrest Teen With Loaded Firearm
NEW BEDFORD (WBSM) — New Bedford Police seized a loaded firearm from a 16-year-old boy Monday in the city’s West End.
According to police, detectives assigned to the Organized Crime Intelligence Bureau were monitoring activity in the Temple Landing at around 3 p.m. on January 30, when they say they observed a group of males known to be involved in gang activity.
Police said one of them “appeared to be holding an item in the area of his waistband as he hurried away from the scene.”
“He was then observed attempting to gain entry into a residence to which he neither belonged, nor knew the occupants,” police said.
