The youth was charged with possession of a firearm without a permit and illegally altering the identification number on a firearm and transported to the Bridgeport Juvenile Detention Center, Conklin said. “This was a nice, proactive arrest from NOC officers removing an illegal, loaded firearm from the street,” said Conklin. Conklin said the pistol will be sent to the state laboratory for ballistics tests, to see if it has been used in any other crimes.
