Stolen gun discovery leads to arrest at Walmart on Hudson Avenue
Rochester, New York – A man found himself in police custody after allegedly being discovered with a stolen firearm at the Walmart located on Hudson Avenue in Rochester. The Rochester Police Department responded swiftly to the situation.
On a Saturday afternoon, shortly after 5 p.m., a concerned citizen reported an individual with a handgun inside the store premises.
