Newark Police recover 14 weapons, make 13 arrests in gun sweep

Police Division recovered 14 weapons in the last week either responding to crimes in progress, shots fired, or the arrests of people involved in drug trade.

“We are committed to getting weapons used for unlawful purposes off the street,” Ambrose said. “As I’ve said before, every gun we recover means we’ve saved at least one life.”

Here is an update of the weekend arrests:

On June 14, an investigation into Fentanyl mill led to the recovery of two guns hidden on the premises and a large amount of Fentanyl, bath salts and marijuana.
