GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- The Grand Rapids Police say they have recovered a lot of guns and ammunition, plus four suspects following an incident Thursday night.
They responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle around 8 o'clock on Beulah Street west of Madison Avenue. When officers approached the vehicle, two of the four people inside got out and took off running.
The GRPD said they were captured after a Michigan State Police helicopter and a K9 team got involved in the search. Grand Rapids Police said a woman and three men were arrested. They rounded up some rifles, handguns, loaded magazines, ammunition and a machete.
“We are very thankful that an alert person called the police,” said Chief Eric Winstrom. “While we can’t know the intentions of these individuals, we do know the firearms were not legally possessed. We all share the responsibility of keeping our community safe and because this caller spoke up, multiple illegally-possessed firearms are off our streets.”
The GRPD said the investigation is ongoing.
