GREENFIELD, Ind. — Detectives are investigating after a traffic stop Monday in Greenfield led to the arrest of four teenagers for drugs and gun charges.
On June 26, Greenfield officers stopped the vehicle in the area of North State Street and New Road. During the stop, officers established probable cause and searched the car.
During the search, officers found two guns, ammunition, multiple THC vapes and several hundred dollars in cash.
All four teen boys — two 16-year-olds and two 17-year-olds — were arrested.
Investigators are trying to find out where the guns and drugs came from and how they came into the teenagers' possession.
One 16-year-old and one 17-year-old were released and face charges of illegal possession of marijuana, police said.
Police took the other two teens into custody and to an out-of-county juvenile detention facility, where they both face charges of illegal possession of a firearm by a minor and dealing marijuana.
"We will continue to proactively enforce the laws of our State and prosecute those who violate them. Again, we call on the parents of our community to know what your kids are doing and who they are with," Greenfield police said in a statement.
The Hancock County Prosecutor's Office will make the final charging decisions.
