Four persons, including adults and juveniles, were arrested Wednesday on drugs and gun possession charges at a motel in Westminster.

According to the Westminster Police Department, detectives were investigating criminal activity in the 13000 block of Goldenwest Street. They observed multiple gang members, many of whom were on probation or parole. Detectives made contact and located loaded guns on two of the subjects and illegal drugs on a third.

Two of the juveniles had a total of 12 prior arrests and one of the adults had five prior arrests. All four were arrested and the loaded firearms were taken as evidence.
