Two St. Cloud teens were arrested Friday after the police department executed a search warrant.

Lieutenant Jeff Oxton says investigators with help from the SWAT team executed the search warrant at the 100 block of 20th Avenue North and arrested 18-year-old Antonio Gabriel McKnight and a 17-year-old.

Oxton adds investigators found a loaded handgun with the serial number removed during the search.

McKnight, who was on probation before the Friday arrest, was taken to Stearns County Jail. He is being held on charges of felony possession of a firearm with a removed serial number, unlawful possession of a firearm, and multiple outstanding misdemeanor arrest warrants.

The 17-year-old was also taken to Stearns County Jail because of an outstanding juvenile warrant for robbery.

Oxton says the St. Cloud Police Department will continue to seek out and arrest people who illegally carry firearms without permits.
