High-risk vehicle stop leads to weapons charges for teens

Three 16-year-old boys spent Saturday night in police custody.

Police were called to the area of Attridge Drive and Kenderdine Road around 8 p.m. by a person who said they were almost hit by a vehicle and had a gun pointed at them.

About 15 minutes later officers spotted the vehicle near Ludlow Street and Lowe Road and conducted a high-risk stop.

The three boys were arrested and had a BB handgun and homemade brass knuckles seized from them.

All three are charged with possession of a weapon dangerous to the public, and two are charged with possession of a prohibited weapon for the brass knuckles.

On Sunday they are set to be seen by a Justice of the Peace.

There were no injuries.
