Minor with firearm
Oak Park police arrested a minor last week who was found to be in possession of a defaced firearm, according to police.
Police arrested a “female juvenile from Chicago” the evening of Oct. 19 in the 700 block of South Boulevard. Police were arresting her for being in possession of stolen property when they found the firearm, according to police.
The minor has been charged with aggravated possession of a firearm with a defaced serial number, according to police.
These items were obtained from Oak Park’s Police Department reports dated Oct. 14 – Oct. 21 and represent a portion of the incidents to which police responded. Anyone named in these reports has only been charged with a crime and cases have not yet been adjudicated. We report the race of a suspect only when a serious crime has been committed, the suspect is still at large, and police have provided us with a detailed a description of the suspect as they seek the public’s help in making an arrest.
