The Male currently in @PPD18Dist custody clearly is upset about HIS choice to carry a gun illegally & sell drugs @ 500 S. 52nd st. We cannot allow drugs sales & illegal firearms to over take our streets. Great work PO Schroder & Turner. @PPDDerrickWood

Illegal firearms come in all shapes and sizes, even ones shaped as cell phones. This gun & the person w/13 priors possessing it, shouldn’t be on our streets. Good work @PPD18Dist PO’s @ 300 S. 57th. @ATFPhiladelphia @FOX29philly @PHLCouncil @PhillyPolice
