On Wednesday, March 27, members of both police departments were conducting follow-up investigations into the robberies when they learned a juvenile male suspected in the crimes was at the Roberts Street address, Paone said.
Detectives from both agencies went to the apartment at about 1 p.m. When the door was opened by someone inside, there was a strong odor of marijuana and what appeared to be a handgun in plain view. Detectives secured the apartment and those inside, Paone said in press release sent out this afternoon.
