LONDON — Baby carriages apparently aren't just for babies anymore. They can also be used to conceal loaded handguns. That's where police in Manchester, N.H., found a 9mm handgun when they stopped parents Jonathan Bijoel and Cassandra Gagnon during a walk with their 1-year-old daughter. The officers were investigating a report of an assault made by two men who claimed someone they knew only as “John” demanded money and hit one of them in the face with a gun when they refused, the Manchester Union-Leader reported. The police tracked down the suspect, who turned out to be Bijoel, 28, and approached him while he was walking his daughter with Gagnon, 23, according to WBZ-TV.
When the police approached, she took control of the carriage and attempted to walk away but the trio was ultimately detained without incident, Manchester police Lt. told the station. “Further investigation lead to the recovery of a loaded 9mm handgun from the storage area of the carriage located under the child's seat,” Manchester police Lt. Maureen Tessier told MyFoxBoston. “The gun was later determined to have been stolen.” — Agencies
