Officer Hardy was monitoring traffic with our Tag Readers when the system hit on a stolen red Mustang driven by a black male.

When they arrived they met a man who stated that four black males, armed with several weapons, including an AK 47, shotguns, and an AR15, stormed inside of his studio and began to beat him. The victim was able to escape and hide in a nearby studio. Officers were able to observe surveillance footage of the incident that showed the four suspects leaving the victims studio and entering another. Officers Winfield and Hardy approached and knocked on the suspects’ door. A male answered and quickly fled back into the studio. Shortly after, a pregnant female exited and stated several times that no one was inside of the location, at that time two males also exited. Officers cleared the room and recovered three stolen long guns, a shotgun, a handgun, a large amount of marijuana.
