Long Beach Police Seize Guns, Ammo, and Drugs in High Crime Focus Team Bust
LONG BEACH, CA — A late-night police operation by the Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) led to the seizure of firearms, ammunition, and drugs, culminating in the arrest of a prohibited possessor.
On Saturday night, officers from the LBPD High Crime Focus Team executed a search warrant in the 1400 block of San Francisco Avenue. During the operation, authorities recovered four firearms, a cache of ammunition, and methamphetamine. The male suspect, whose identity has not yet been released, was taken into custody and determined to be a prohibited possessor, meaning he was legally barred from owning firearms.
The High Crime Focus Team, established in May 2024, has been instrumental in proactive crime-fighting efforts across the city. The unit focuses on removing illegal guns from the streets, making arrests, and engaging with residents and businesses to enhance public safety.
No further details about the suspect or potential charges have been released at this time.
