Inv. Erickson completed an E-trace on the rifle serial numbers to determine the owner. Inv. Erickson contacted the rifle owners, who stated he did not have the rifles and had given them to a friend to hold onto because he was going through bankruptcy and didn't want them being taken away. That male matches the description of the driver seen on surveillance camera. Further investigation shows an extensive criminal history for the male suspect, and a warrant case where he is involved with a black male suspect where his apartment in Mounds View was raided and over 8,000 rounds of firearm ammunition was recovered. The 2r,d suspect was later found to have relation to the registered owner of the pursuit vehicle and matches the passenger seen on surveillance footage. Inv. Erickson later contacted both suspects and interviewed them. Their DNA was obtained through search warrant, and sent to the BCA where it will be compared to DNA obtained from the rifles. Both subjects are convicted Felons and will make them ineligible to be in possession of a Firearm. Charges are pending resulting in the DNA comparison from the suspects and the Firearm DNA swabs.
