The Tallahassee Police Department has recovered several allegedly stolen valuable, including firearms, credit cards and electronics. Officers said they’re tracking down the owners and hope to reunite them with their belongings.
Police spokesman Dave Northway said an officer stopped two Tallahassee men late Saturday night for speeding. After saying he smelled marijuana, the patrol officer searched the car, allegedly finding a glass pipe and a stolen handgun. Northway said a later search of the apartment where the men lived yielded more guns, laptop computers and 78 grams of pot.
“All of these items were all stolen from other cars; a couple of them were stolen from houses," he said. "So, a simple traffic infraction, which is speeding in this case, leads to a very large arrest.”
The men may face several charges related to possessing illegal drugs and stolen property.
