WEAPONS OFFENSE
On 03/11/2026, at approximately 3:32 PM, the Yakima Police Department responded to the area of Custer Ave. and W. Lincoln Ave. after 911 received a call from an adult female advising two adult males had pointed a handgun at her and her son.
Officers quickly obtained a description of a vehicle being driven by the suspects. Through video footage obtained of the vehicle, along with the use of FLOCK cameras, officers were able to obtain a license plate for the suspect vehicle. After identifying the suspect vehicle, officers from the YPD PROACT unit located the suspect vehicle in the area of Summitview Ave. and N. 16th Ave. Multiple subjects were detained and ultimately two adult males were arrested for their involvement in the incident.
This incident is believed to be gang-related and the investigation is on-going. A subsequent search of the suspect vehicle pursuant to a search warrant yielded two firearms, one of which was stolen.

Maybe with the Flock cameras, we can reduce the number of officers or atleast detectives needed since they find the subjects.
FLOCK cameras for the win...
i was curious what was going on there i drove by when it happened
Another fine example of how Flock cameras are not being used to target law abiding citizens. If anything these cameras can help protect law abiding citizens from some of the safety and security hazards in their neighborhoods.
Great job officers !
Flock cameras save the day
This is why we need flock cameras. Thank you YPD
Great response time! Good job YPD & Yes for flock cameras

Good job YPD. Thank you FLOCK cameras. Good job catching the punks.
Thank you officers
there's no obscene gesture by her and that's to the Washington State Patrol is a scam alert and also fraud and trying to be-friend someone and she knows they're not related and that she's the prime s8spec't w/ her known accomplices and making excuses, she already tried to make a false claim that isn't true. She also doesn't have her own family and is very bad about her boundaries and trespasses on someone else's streets and she knows she's not from there. She's asking for her out and won't be cooperative.
Flock cameras are anti American, ypd is gonna use every story to highlight flock cameras but surely they won't give all the details that entail all of that. Probably over hyping the cameras, and expect them to use that tactic. We are not the UK!!!
Good job ypd get them punks off the street
Natalie Ellis Angie Olivio wtf
So very sad🙏🙏The Officer released a video Police activity
Still not worth the invasion of privacy of Flock cameras. They're anti-American. "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." - Benjamin Franklin

All before 8AM? Sheeesh
It's crazy he didn't get charged with assault
That’s great police work! Better serving the public’s interest than pirating the roads handing out frivolous citations. I hope to see more of this in Yakima. LFG!
Nice work!
At least no one died.
