Advisory

Seizure of Twenty-One Firearms

In June 2020, the Stockton Police Department Gang Violence Suppression Unit and the California Department of Justice (CA DOJ)/California Highway Patrol (CHP) Special Operations Unit (SOU) initiated a joint investigation in conjunction with the San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Office into the criminal activities of the Asian Boyz, Muddy Boyz Crips, Lil Ruthless Criminals Comstocc Crips, Loctown Crips, and Asian Crip criminal street gangs in the City of Stockton.

The operation was started because of an increase in violent crime involving documented gang members of these groups in the City of Stockton. These groups were working together to benefit their gangs /subsets and the Crips criminal street gang.
On Saturday, September 26, 2020, investigators received reliable information that Anthony Comans (30 yrs. old) and Kwabena Twumasi (35 yrs. old) both of Arizona, may have been traveling through and/or staying in the City of Morgan Hill. This information was passed onto the Morgan Hill Police Department and then disseminated to all Patrol Officers.

At approximately 1:24 PM, MHPD Officers located Comans and Twumasi as they were exiting their 2015 Cadillac Escalade and approaching the lobby of La Quinta Inn, located at 17043 Condit Road. Both suspects were immediately contacted and detained without incident. During a search of their vehicle, Officers located and seized (21) firearms, a few of which were illegally altered to fully automatic. Comans and Twumasi were both arrested and booking into the Santa Clara County Jail for their roles in the conspiracy and illegal possession/trafficking of firearms.
