Redwood City police on Wednesday arrested a 15-year-old man who was linked to firearms and drug-related crimes.
Last Wednesday, around 9:48 p.m., detectives from the Police Department's Street Crime Suppression Team contacted a group of young people at 3200 Rollison Road.
One of the young men managed to escape from the detectives who lost sight of him and returned a few moments later.
Detectives extended the search area from where the young man had fled; at the scene, they found the trail of narcotics along with a 9mm semi-automatic firearm and a cartridge containing 15 rounds of ammunition, police said.
The minor was arrested and subsequently admitted to the San Mateo County Juvenile Services Center.
