YARMOUTH, Massachusetts – [NOTES] – As you will see and hear in the following brief HN Video from early this morning, Yarmouth patrol officers scrambled toward their department’s main lobby after a dispatcher suddenly came over the air saying, “I need officers in the lobby right now!” Responding officers learned the commotion was about someone suddenly showing up in an allegedly stolen pickup truck with an unsecured firearm reportedly inside. In today’s world of gun violence and ambushes, the early morning incident brought alarm and rapid responses from the entire YPD midnight to eight shift.

It turned out to be a teenage boy in a vehicle he had allegedly taken from a relative. The “firearm” turned out to be BB gun. Once notified, the child’s mom and another family member immediately responded to the police station. Family members were noticeably upset and worried. It turned out to be a situation where a teenager may possibly be charged as a juvenile. But more importantly, nobody was injured. The child was said to experiencing some type of emotional/mental health crisis… and the child’s family appeared to be extremely worried and focused on getting the child the help he needs. The YPD is investigating and assisting with the situation.
