Teen Arrested After Group Seen With Guns on Genesee Street
A report of a several males armed with guns on Genesee Street in Utica led to the arrest of one on a weapons charge.
UPD officials say they were dispatched to the plaza at 1500 Genesee Street at 10:45 p.m. Wednesday night. Cops say the group dispersed in different directions when they arrived.
One, a 17-year-old, was pursed by investigators with the Gun Involved Violence Elimination (GIVE) unit and apprehended after a short chase, police said. After backtracking the route of the pursuit, officers located a loaded .380 handgun. Cops say they used a thermal imaging device to verify the weapon had just been dropped and say the device showed a significant heat signature.
The teen, whose name is not being released because of his age, was also arrested earlier this year for possession of a loaded gun, UPD officials said. He now faces additional charges of criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a firearm.
