A LOADED GUN OFF THE STREETS
It started with a call about an armed robbery Wednesday night. It ended with an arrest and a loaded gun recovered.
Just before 9 p.m., Brockton Police responded to the Montello Street area after a 64-year-old man reported being attacked and robbed by a group of individuals. One of them allegedly pulled a knife. The victim suffered a minor injury.
As officers searched the neighborhood, detectives spotted a teenager matching the description of one of the suspects. When detectives approached, he took off running.
They caught up with him after a foot pursuit. A search along the route led to the discovery of a loaded 9mm handgun with 12 rounds of ammunition.
The 17-year-old faces armed robbery and several firearms charges.
This was a team effort, from the patrol officers who responded to the original call to the detectives who tracked down a suspect and recovered the gun.
One less loaded gun on our streets.
The investigation is ongoing.

COFFEE WASN’T THE POINT. THE CONVERSATION WAS.
From the Brockton Council on Aging this morning to Starbucks on Belmont Street this afternoon, Coffee with a Cop gave officers and residents a chance to talk, listen, laugh, and connect.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by, and to both locations for welcoming us.
As we mark #CommunityPolicingWeek, today was a pretty good reminder of what it’s all about.
That’s community policing.
