Three Juveniles Arrested for Carrying a Firearm Without a License

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 7/28/2025 11:02 am

On July 26, 2025, at approximately 4:00 AM, Worcester Police officers were dispatched to Hudson Street for a ShotSpotter activation. Officers located a vehicle close to the ShotSpotter activation. They approached it due to concerns there could be a victim inside. 

Three juveniles were inside of the vehicle. A rear passenger falsely identified himself to officers and was told to step out of the vehicle. At that time, officers noticed a cross-body bag in the vehicle. Officers found a firearm in the bag. Since no one inside of the vehicle claimed ownership of the firearm, all three juveniles were placed under arrest. 

The Crime Scene Unit recovered and processed the gun. The juveniles are charged with Carrying a Loaded Firearm Without a License, Possession a Firearm Without an FID card, and Possession of Ammunition Without an FID card.
