On February 27th 2021, Kalamazoo
Public Safety was conducting a directed patrol in the 400 block of West
Michigan Avenue targeting a hotspot for mobile nuisance parties commonly referred
to as the “X-Train.” During this time,
officers observed a person acting suspiciously in the lot, not conducting legitimate
business and appearing to be concealing a firearm. Due to numerous drug and weapons criminal
cases generated in this area, officers investigated a concealed weapon violation. As a result, 2 handguns were seized, and two
22-year old Kalamazoo residents were arrested on multiple firearm related charges
and lodged at the county jail.
Kalamazoo Public Safety remains dedicated to actively pursuing resolutions and solutions to the mobile nuisance parties.
Anyone having information regarding this incident is asked to contact the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety at 269-337-8139 or Silent Observer at 269-343-2100.
