QUARTZ HILL – Three firearms were seized and three felons were arrested Tuesday when deputies from the Lancaster Community Appreciation Program [LAN-CAP] served a search warrant at a Quartz Hill home.

The operation was conducted during the early morning hours of Tuesday, March 13, at a home on the 4500 block of West Avenue L-2, according to a news release from the Sheriffs Information Bureau.

“Through investigative sources, information revealed that there were three convicted felons, which included an active gang member, residing at the home,” the news release states.

“The LAN-CAP team recovered an assault rifle with a loaded 30 round magazine, a .40 caliber handgun and a .22 caliber rifle. There were two male white adults and one female Hispanic adult arrested,” the news release states.

The suspects were transported to Lancaster Sheriff’s Station and booked on various felony charges, officials said. The suspects’ names and ages were not immediately released.

“There are no outstanding suspects and there were no injuries to any suspects or deputies during the operation,” the sheriff’s news release states.

    Dress rehearsal of what is soon to come, America’s newly militarized community police won’t only be kicking down doors and bagging heads, on felons. Soon enough it’s going to be me and you. These urban combat specialists are soon be going door-to-door, rounding up guns, of law abiding citizens. Any lip, any backtalk suggesting your 1st and 2nd amendment constitution privilege, you’re going to get a rifle butt to your forehead. America’s best days well behind her, indeed –

        Who said they were white supremacists? Whites join Hispanic gangs all the time

        Where did the story say anything about white supremacists? White people can be violent gang criminals without fighting for a Caucasian cause. This is a modern age – thug scum come in all colors.

          Spot on Loam. Who needs white supremacists when we have a mayor who sends out political hit mailers calling an African American veteran a gang candidate? Or who refuses to call out one of his council when they make Islamaphobic remarks? Racism is alive and well in Lancaster.
