SOUTHBOROUGH — Two males, including a juvenile, were arrested after allegedly pointing a realistic-looking air pistol at drivers from a moving vehicle on Turnpike Road, police said.
On Monday, May 5 at approximately 7:15 p.m., Southborough officers responded to Turnpike Road to investigate a report of a motor vehicle operating at a high rate of speed with a passenger pointing what appeared to be a black handgun at other drivers.
Officers were unable to locate the vehicle, which had left the scene prior to their arrival.
Police issued a BOLO (Be On the Look Out) alert to surrounding towns for the vehicle, described as a silver Toyota Corolla.
The vehicle’s owner was contacted at their residence and subsequently reached out to the two involved parties, identified as Jake Ferrante of Milford and a juvenile from Hopedale.
The vehicle owner advised the suspects to drive to the nearest police department, which was the Northborough Police Department.
Northborough Police contacted Southborough Police, Framingham Police, and the Massachusetts State Police, advising that the two subjects were at their station.
The weapon was determined to be a realistic-looking Glock air pistol that had been purchased earlier that day.
Both suspects are facing multiple charges of Assault by Means of a Dangerous Weapon and Accomplice to Assault by Means of a Dangerous Weapon in the involved jurisdictions.
