The Shreveport Police Department’s Violent Crimes Abatement Team, in partnership with Caddo Parish Juvenile Services probation officers, executed a search warrant at 600 Harrison Street on Aug. 2 around 11 am. This joint effort resulted in the arrest of a 14-year-old juvenile on outstanding warrants and the possession of five firearms.

All evidence colletted during the operation was submitted to the Shreveport Police Department Property Room for safekeeping and future court purposes. This seizure of illegally possessed weapons underscores Chief Smith and the Shreveport Police Department’s commitment to removing those who seek to commit violence from our streets.

Chief Smith praised the collaborative efforts, stating, “The removal of these firearms from the hands of a juvenile is a crucial step in our ongoing mission to ensure the safety of our community. We will continue to work tirelessly with our partners to protect our citizens and prevent violence.”
