How do our hard-working men and women in police forces across the nation get any sleep? It's almost like they have to be rolling 24/7 just to even have a prayer at keeping on pace with the number of crimes being committed all day, every day, all over the place.

This latest incident was part of a routine traffic stop in Springfield. The Springfield Police Department reports via a social media post that members of the Firearms Investigation Unit seized two loaded ghost guns and trafficking weight in fentanyl last Thursday, August 18th.

According to the SPD, the Firearms Investigation Unit received info about a suspect who was in possession of illegal weapons. The suspect was located by detectives in a vehicle with two other passengers on Murray Hill Avenue in Springfield at approximately 9 p.m. Thursday evening.
