Discovery of BB gun, ghost gun in Fall River leads to 4 arrests
According to Det. Sergeant Moses Pereira, on November 14th, Vice, Gang and Intelligence Detectives were conducting surveillance, when they developed information that a 16-year-old juvenile was in the Maple Gardens Housing development with a firearm. Detectives responded to the area and located him accompanied by another 16-year-old juvenile male. After recognizing the detectives, the juveniles ran to a nearby vehicle which attempted to leave the area.
Detectives initiated a traffic stop, which lead to the discovery of a polymer 80 Ghost Gun and a BB gun. Three Juveniles and 20-year-old Angel Andres Martinez Malave were arrested as a result of the investigation.
Martinez Malave is charged with carrying a firearm without a license to carry, carrying a loaded firearm without a license to carry, possession of a large capacity firearm, person under 21 in possession of alcohol, and conspiracy.
