Officers working an emphasis patrol along the Aurora Avenue corridor last Thursday recovered narcotics and a stolen handgun following the arrest of the driver for an unrelated incident.
Just before 11:00 p.m., officers contacted the driver of a vehicle in the 10500 block of Aurora Avenue N after recognizing him from a prior incident for which they had probable cause to arrest him.
