HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Police responding to reports of gunfire in Hartford on Tuesday night arrested four juveniles they say were in possession of two stolen guns and were riding around in a stolen car.
Police were conducting a proactive investigation in the city’s Frog Hollow neighborhood at about 9:45 p.m. when the gunfire was reported, Lt. Paul Cicero said.
Officers saw a car reported stolen out of Coventry fleeing the scene.
When unmarked police cars converged, the juveniles fled on foot, but were captured after a brief pursuit, he said.
The two guns recovered from the suspects were both reported stolen, and one had its serial number obliterated. One of the suspects has been arrested several previous times in stolen car investigations, including once just three weeks ago.
The suspects’ names were not released because of their ages.
No injuries were reported from the gunfire.
