Officers responding to Cambridge and Van Winkle avenues yesterday afternoon found the white teen in the gray hoodie, as described by the witness, Detective Capt. Darren Sucorowski said.
He was with three other teens, the captain said.
The boy was taken into custody after officers found him carrying a loaded .177-caliber Daisy Powerline 340, Sucorowski said.
The Powerline seized is similar to the larger gun shown in the photo above. It is similar in appearance to the Beretta 92FS, also depicted in the photo (smaller).
The boy was released to a parent pending a hearing on a juvenile delinquency complaint of unlawful weapons possession in the Family Division of Superior Court in Hackensack, the captain said.
