Mount Vernon is giving a group of police officers and detectives a pat on the back after they took two guns off the streets late Wednesday night.

In a post on Facebook, the department says officers Altema, Guevara, Detz and Rodriguez conducted a traffic stop that lead to the recovery of a firearm and an arrest for criminal possession of a weapon.

Then later in the evening, during a separate investigation, detectives Adao, Barnes, Hylton and Ludwicki recovered another firearm and an arrest was made for criminal possession of a weapon.
