Two juveniles were arrested after police found a revolver in their possession July 28, according to Morgan Hill police.
Officers responded to a report of suspicious activity in the area of 15855 Monterey Road. When officers arrived, they contacted two suspicious juvenile males subjects who matched the descriptions provided by witnesses in the south parking lot of 500 Vineyard Town Center, according to police.
One of the juveniles immediately ran, but an officer quickly caught up to him, police said. A search of the subject revealed he was in possession of a revolver cylinder. Police searched the area and found a .38 revolver frame that matched the cylinder.
The juveniles were identified, and police determined they were from San Jose and Gilroy respectively, police said. They were on active juvenile probation with gang, curfew and alcohol clauses. MHPD officers arrested then on suspicion of possession of unlawful weapons, resisting arrest and probation violations. Both were transported to Santa Clara County Juvenile Hall.
Authorities did not release the suspects’ names because they are juveniles.
Police do not think the young men were involved in the July 16 downtown shooting, in which two vehicles were damaged by gunfire but no injuries were reported.
Anyone with information about this case can contact MHPD Cpl. Scott Purvis at (408) 779-2101 or the anonymous tip line at (408) 947-7867.
