Video of teens’ threats at West Valley park leads to arrests: police

Posted

Three teens have been arrested and a stolen gun recovered following a Buckeye police investigation, authorities said.

Just after 9 p.m. on July 24, Buckeye police responded to a report of an argument at Buckeye Town Park that escalated with three armed teen boys threatening to shoot a group of people, police said.

The suspects left the scene before officers arrived. No one was hurt.

Using footage from a park surveillance camera, police said “data from license plate readers and old-fashioned detective work” helped investigators identify and find all three teen suspects.

Detectives arrested two 16-year-olds and one 17-year-old at separate Buckeye locations with the third arrest taking place on Aug. 12, according to a release  from the Buckeye Police Department.

Investigators also recovered a stolen gun found at one of the suspect’s homes. The suspects were booked on multiple criminal charges, the release stated.
