    This operation is a prime example of effective policing and collaboration with the community. Seizing over 130 rounds of ammunition is no small feat; it shows that we’re making real progress in tackling illegal firearms. Every bullet taken off the streets is one step closer to ensuring our neighborhoods are safer. We’ll continue to work hard to keep the pressure on those involved in illegal activities. It’s all about protecting and serving our community.
