In the early morning hours of Thursday, September 11, WPD officers began receiving reports of thefts from vehicles in an east side neighborhood. In some cases, firearms were stolen, authorities said.

A patrol officer later conducted a traffic stop on a suspicious vehicle, which led to the recovery of one of the firearms reported stolen.
