2 juveniles arrested with ghost gun, replica firearm near San Francisco's Stonestown Galleria
Police in San Francisco on Wednesday confirmed the arrests of two juveniles this past weekend near the Stonestown Galleria in connection with brandishing a replica firearm and possessing a ghost gun.
According to the press release issued by the San Francisco Police Department, shortly after 7 p.m. on Saturday, March 8, officers patrolling the area of the Stonestown Galleria located at 3200 20th Ave were flagged down regarding a subject with a firearm.
Officers searched the area and found a male juvenile subject who matched the description provided by security. That juvenile and a second juvenile male subject refused to respond to commands and started to flee from the officers on foot. Officers quickly detained both juveniles without further incident.
