Scotts Valley K-9 busts two suspects with gun and drugs

Scotts Valley Police arrested two men for having an unregistered gun and drug paraphernalia.

Police spotted them sitting in a parked car in a loading zone. The men refused to identify themselves. Police determined the owner of the car had an outstanding misdemeanor warrant and the passenger was a convicted felon.

“The officer enlisted the help of our four legged crime stopper “Atlas” to conduct a sniff of the vehicle which resulted in a positive alert to narcotic odor,” said Scotts Valley Police.

They searched the car and found an unregistered 9 millimeter handgun with a loaded magazine and spare ammo.

Both men were arrested for possession of the gun and drug paraphernalia.
