Westminster police officers seized guns, drugs and fake IDs during a vehicle stop

During the day shift, alert Westminster Police Department patrol officers conducted a car stop in the area of Westminster/Hoover for CVC (California Vehicle Code) violations.

During a search of the vehicle, the officer located two loaded handguns, ammunition, drugs and fraudulent identification cards.

The three occupants of the vehicle were all arrested for various charges. For one of the occupants, this was his second felony gun arrest by the Westminster Police Department in the last 5 months.

Solid work by the Westminster Police Department patrol officers working proactively to make our community safer!

The suspects can look forward to ringing in the New Year at the OC Jail…
