@0708America I’ve been working on this since yesterday. My research leaning to the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative. Persecutors and judges have to follow the law. @NickBSchroer@BradChristForMO might be able to help clarify

Around 1am, neighbors in the Tower Grove South neighborhood contacted 911 for a group of suspects that were seen checking multiple vehicle door handles — trying to break into cars.
When officers arrived, the four suspects took off on foot. Officers were able to catch and detain a 17-year-old male and a 14-year-old male.
The 17-year-old male was found in possession of a handgun.
Officers contacted the juvenile detention center who declined to hold the juveniles and released them to their parents.
#SLMPD detectives are working with metro law enforcement partners regarding car break-ins that have occurred over the last month. Gathering real-time intelligence and analysis is crucial. Remember, if you see something suspicious, say something. Do not approach. Call 911. #STL
Around 8pm last night, detectives in Metro Air Support observed a Lincoln driving recklessly near 14th and Monroe and alerted other Anti-Crime Task Force detectives in the area.
The vehicle was located in the 700 block of N. 17th Street, where detectives arrested two suspects and recovered multiple illegally modified firearms, including auto sear switches, converting the guns to fully automatic. A Ghost gun was also located and seized.
#STL is safer today because of the proactive work of these detectives, which led to dangerous weapons being removed from the streets.
