Two suspected gang members, one a juvenile, arrested on gun charges in Watsonville
Watsonville police have arrested two suspected gang members on gun charges this week, and one of them is a juvenile.
A 16-year-old with suspected gang affiliation was arrested on the 100 block of Marin Street Friday. Police said they served a search warrant at the juvenile’s home and found a high-powered rifle, so they booked him into juvenile hall for having an illegal gun.
On Tuesday, police were investigating a report of a stolen shotgun. After a probation search on the 100 block of Second Street, officers arrested 30-year-old Rodolfo Ibarra on suspicion of being a felon with a stolen gun. Police said Ibarra also has gang ties.
