DOTHAN, Ala. ( WDHN ) — Six teenagers in Dothan have been arrested in connection with several shooting investigations, Dothan Police announced Thursday.

The Dothan Police Department Gun Unit and the Criminal Investigation Division executed two search warrants Thursday. One was on Hutchins Street, and the other occurred on Lingo Street.

Dothan Police spokesperson Lt. Scott Owens said the raids were part of an investigation into shootings around Dothan. The investigation was not into one shooting but several.

According to Owens, during the raids, six teenagers under 16 were arrested. Officers seized marijuana, five handguns and one AR-15-style rifle.

Because of the suspects’ age, their identities are not being released. They are charged with certain persons forbidden to carry firearms, third-degree burglary, second-degree receiving stolen property (stolen firearms) and possession of marijuana.
