Three firearms and ammunition were seized from two juveniles during dedicated patrols in the Parkrose Neighborhood.

On the evening of Monday, February 10, 2025, in a hotel parking lot in the 9500 block of Northeast Sandy Boulevard, East Precinct officers spotted a vehicle occupied by two individuals who had previously eluded law enforcement. Officers contacted and arrested the two 17-year-old males. While searching their vehicle, officers located and seized three firearms. All three firearms were equipped with an extended magazine and modified to enable automatic fire. The two teenagers were transported to the Donald E Long Juvenile Detention Center and lodged on numerous charges including Unlawful Possession of a Machine Gun.

The arrests and seizure of the firearms occurred while East Precinct and North Precinct officers were patrolling the 82nd Avenue and Sandy Boulevard corridors. These dedicated patrols are part of an ongoing effort to address community concerns around livability and criminal activity.
