Officers from the Chicago Police Department, as well as federal and local law enforcement partners, arrested two convicted felons and recovered nine firearms in an ongoing investigation into stolen items taken in recent burglaries in the Chicagoland area.   

Gang Investigations officers gathered information and evidence on where some of the stolen items were being stored. CPD officers obtained search warrants for three locations housing the stolen items.

A search of these locations led to the recovery of nine firearms, including multiple semi-automatic handguns, stolen merchandise, suspected narcotics and more than $280,000 in cash.
