A 17-year-old suspect accused of stealing credit cards was apprehended during a wild birthday celebration at an Airbnb, reports the NY Post.
Authorities traced the stolen credit cards back to a Shoreview, Minnesota resident.
Police discovered eleven guns hidden in the Airbnb property. The guns were concealed in places like food wrappers, board game boxes, empty McDonald’s bags, and even within unfinished walls, plants, and furniture.
The suspect had multiple violations of the rental agreement, including exceeding the occupancy limit, breaking rules against weapons and smoking, and posting social media pictures of the event.
The owner was informed by the police, and over 50 attendees, aged 15 to 21, were escorted out of the premises for weapon searches.
An investigation is currently underway to determine who is responsible for stashing the firearms at the property.
“This is especially concerning because several of the party attendees are part of a ‘group’ that has enemies – or as they call them, ‘opps,’”
Ramsey County Undersheriff Mike Martin said in a Facebook post.
According to an update from the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office, the suspected credit card thief
“went from five-star Airbnb accommodations to the county jail.”
Whether the minors involved will be tried as adults remains uncertain.
“The best part is we got 11 guns off the street that won’t shoot somebody, kill somebody you know, or be used for robbery or anything else,”
Martin told Law & Crime.
