PICAYUNE — Picayune Police Department’s Street Crimes Strike Team arrested a number of suspects during an operation on Wednesday.

Chief Jim Luke said the team was working hot spot areas of the city in response to numerous complaints of illegal activities.

“We’re responding to the community complaints and hitting hot spots with the strike team,” Luke said.

During that operation, the team attempted to conduct a traffic stop on Roy Higgins Jr., 21, of 1103 Baylous St., but he fled leading the officers on a brief chase. When Higgins was caught, officers found a large amount of what is believed to be marijuana in the car along with pills believed to be ecstasy, a rifle, a shotgun and two handguns.

Investigation into the handguns discovered that one of them was stolen from a county resident, the release states. Higgins was charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance while in possession of firearms, careless driving and no turn signal.
