  • Investigators linked a suspect to a two-family home at 382–384 Walpole Street, shut down the area and called Metro SWAT to contain the address.
  • A search recovered three handguns hidden in a toilet tank at one unit, while the neighboring unit yielded drug-packaging evidence and 32 grams of crack cocaine.
  • Two juveniles were charged with armed robbery while masked, conspiracy and threats, and several other juveniles detained at the scene were released to parents.
