The sight of a suspicious car with paper plates headed toward the Galleria Saturday, January 27 at approximately 1 p.m. prompted a #GlendalePD patrol officer to conduct a traffic stop.

Three men inside the car had prior arrests, plus probation and parole statuses. A search of the car revealed cocaine, methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia and burglary tools in the car. Officers also located a hidden loaded handgun.

GPD patrol officers arrested the men, one of whom had provided a false identity during the stop to conceal that he’s actually a parolee and at large.
