Forrester had been driving the vehicle seen in the video surveillance from the neighborhoods on Misty Hill Drive and Delta Ridge Drive, police claim.
Upon executing a search warrant on the vehicle, Harford County Sheriff’s Department located one of the handguns that was stolen from the vehicle on the 200 block of Misty Hill Drive, according to police.
On Monday, Billet obtained an arrest warrant for the charges of Receiving Stolen Property, Theft from a Motor Vehicle, and Possession of a Firearm for Forrester, who is being held at Harford County Detention Center, according to police.
The case will proceed once Forrester is extradited from Maryland, police said.
