Troy police remove 8 guns from streets

Troy police have taken eight illegal handguns off the streets in just the last two weeks alone.

In one case, police executed a search warrant last week on Third Street, where they found and seized a stash that included four guns, drugs and money.

Troy Mayor Patrick Madden is thanking people in his city.

“We rely on and appreciate the cooperation of the public. By working together, we are making Troy a safer community for all,” he said.
