Orbeez armed minors sought by APD

Albany Police try to identify two more juveniles after securing two arrests

ALBANY, GA – Albany Police are taking to social media with surveillance photos as they try to identify two more suspected juveniles in a trio of incidents at local businesses Monday.

Police say they’ve arrested one 15 year old as well as a 17 year old, identified as Eric McGowan.

Both face charges of reckless conduct.

Police say four individuals fired Orbeez play guns at three Albany businesses; The Family Dollar on Cordele Road, the Lucky 9 on E Broad Street as well as the McDonald’s on Oglethorpe.

Albany Police Lieutenant Jon Segroves says no one was hurt but cautions that an armed person may defend themselves against a perceived threat posed by the foam projectile firing toys.

If you have any information on the two minors sought, contact the Albany Police Department at 229-431-2100.
