Albany juveniles arrested on weapons charges

Three Albany juveniles are facing charges, accused of driving a stolen car with a weapon inside.

Albany County deputies spotted a vehicle that was reported stolen in Troy and tried to pull it over, but the driver took off, side swiping a Sheriff’s patrol car.

The driver eventually stopped on Ontario Street in Albany and five juveniles took off running.

A 12-year-old, 13-year-old and 15-year-old were caught.

Authorities say when they searched the vehicle, they found a modified flare gun, changed to shoot live ammunition.

The three juveniles will also face weapons charges.
