BRIEF: Teens arrrested on weapons charges

Officers Gary Cooper and Carnell Thomas responded to a report at 11:38 a.m. yesterday of juveniles selling narcotics at the Divinity School to find five male teenagers -- who are not University students -- on the 4200 block of Locust Street. The juveniles were frisked by the University officers, who found a .22 caliber, loaded revolver on one teenager and a 12-inch hunting knife on a second juvenile. Both teenagers were arrested and taken to Philadelphia Police West Detective division for processing. The revolver was sent to Philadelphia Ballistics Division to be examined to see if it has been used in any previous crimes. Holmes said the arrest was a "good" one. University Police also responded to a report Monday of a woman threatening students with a bat on the corner of 40th and Locust streets, according to Holmes. At 2:54 p.m. Monday, police officers disarmed the woman, who told police that the students had stolen her dog. University Police also responded to a report of a burglary at the University's Leidy Laboratories -- the biology building -- at 11:32 a.m. yesterday, according to Holmes. Police found a door forced open and a Fischer Electronic Balance, valued at $1345, missing, Holmes said. -- Damon Chetson
