The individual was arrested while the other four people who were detained were taken to the Metro North post to be interviewed about their connection to the original incident.

"Great team work by the Dearborn Police and members of the Metro North Post to get these guns off the street and make a arrest of a convicted felon with a gun," said Lt. Mike Shaw. "This teamwork may have stopped the commission of another serious crime in our community."
