The known suspect, a passenger in the car, was detained and found to be in possession of a 9mm handgun that was stolen out of West York Boro. The driver of the vehicle was also found to be in possession of a .40cal handgun.  Through investigation it was discovered that the driver's concealed weapons permit had been revoked and thus he was not permitted to carry a concealed weapon inside of the vehicle. Felony firearms charges were filed on both suspects.
