ST. LOUIS, Mo. – St. Louis City police officers are cracking down on illegal guns and drugs.

On Friday, District 4 officers were patrolling the Hyde Park neighborhood in north St. Louis when they saw a man acting suspiciously, trying to hide a gun.

After investigating, officers discovered the 22-year-old had what they believed were narcotics on him.

He was arrested and now faces charges for unlawful possession of a firearm and drug trafficking.

A second suspect, a 21-year-old, was found with a draco style pistol but denied owning it.

Police took the guns and suspected drugs in as evidence.

Investigators say this is all part of an ongoing effort to combat gun violence and drug trafficking in the area.
