June 4, 2023 - San Diego Police Department officials report on two recent incidents they were able to get more illegal guns off the streets.
In a swift span of hours, their alertness resulted in two potentially dangerous firearms being taken off our streets. The first incident occurred in an apartment complex where a man was seen with an open bottle of alcohol. Our vigilant officers carried out a routine check and discovered a firearm concealed in his satchel.
Just hours later, with unwavering dedication, the team initiated a routine traffic stop for an equipment and stop sign violation in another part of the division. Here, they unearthed another concealed weapon in a satchel belonging to a passenger on summary probation. Two separate cases, two firearms removed, and countless lives potentially saved - this is what our officers strive for every day.
