A Shelbina Police officer was able to locate and stop the suspect vehicle on South Douglas Street within the City of Shelbina, Missouri. Upon contact and inquiry with the occupant(s) of the vehicle, the officer placed one adult male and two juvenile males into custody after observing and locating evidence of criminal activity within the vehicle.
