BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston police are thanking a Mattapan resident for turning in a firearm they found Saturday while doing some spring yard work.
Officers responding to a report of a found firearm about 2:10 p.m. near the intersection of Mattapan Street and Fottler Road met a local resident who said they were getting ready to mow their lawn when they found a silver firearm, police said in a post on the department’s website.
The officers later recovered a Cobra Enterprises CA .380 pistol.
In their post, police wrote, “To the citizen who prevented a dangerous weapon from falling into the wrong hands, we commend you and say thank you!”
