Fall River Weapons Arrest

On Thursday September 1, 2022 at approximately 9 a.m. Officers Mitchell Walsh and Jonathan Souza
responded to the 600 block of Second St. in response to reports of a male causing a disturbance.

Upon arrival, they encountered 21 year old Mustafa Kasin of Grafton, MA who indicated that his cellular
telephone had been taken by a female acquaintance of his. Officers were able to locate his cellular telephone
with the assistance of the female.

While Officers were investigating the location of the cellular device, Kasin disappeared for a brief period
before reappearing. Upon doing so, Officers observed that Kasin’s pockets now appeared to be full, he had
his hands in his pockets, and his demeanor had shifted.

 Officer’s ordered him to remove his hands from his
pockets, which he refused to do. Fearing that Kasin may be in possession of a weapon they removed his
hands from his pockets and conducted a pat frisk for weapons.

 At this time Officer Souza discovered that
Kasin had secreted a firearm in his right thigh area. The firearm, a loaded 9mm Polymer 80 lower with
Glock upper was removed from Kasin’s possession without incident.

Mustafa Kasin was placed under arrest and charged with carrying a loaded firearm in public without an
LTC, possession of a large capacity firearm, and possession of ammunition without an FID Card. An
investigation is ongoing to determine the status of the pistol.
