SJPD’s Mobile Emergency Response Group and Equipment unit, Street Crimes unit, and patrol officers initially seized three guns in one hour. Two hours later, four more guns were in their possession.

“[SJPD] has taken four additional firearms off the streets during proactive stops involving suspected gang members,” SJPD said. “Let’s be clear: If you’re coming to San Jose to commit crimes or bring guns into our community, don’t. Our officers will be out in full force all weekend, protecting our neighborhoods so families can enjoy Cinco de Mayo safely. Celebration belongs to the community. Crime doesn’t.”

SJPD shared photos of the seized guns and ammunition to social media. All of the guns seized were handguns.
