Gang Task Force Makes Illegal Firearms Arrest in Daly City

DALY CITY, CA — A 37-year-old Daly City man was arrested Saturday for suspected possession of firearms by a felon, possession of controlled substances, and illegal possession of ammunition, San Mateo County sheriff's officials said Wednesday.

The Countywide Gang Task Force conducted a pre-planned probation search at Douglas Aviles' Muirwood Drive residence last Thursday.

Officers found illegal firearms, illegal ammunition, a bulletproof vest, and suspected drugs and paraphernalia. Aviles was not present or aware of the search when it happened, according to the sheriff's office.

On Saturday, task force officers located Aviles near his home, arrested him, and booked him into San Mateo County Jail.

Aviles remains in custody on no-bail status, according to the sheriff's office. The case is still under investigation.
