UNION CITY, CA — Union City Police seized a loaded 9 mm handgun on Saturday, along with a box of ammunition. The driver, whose name was not released, was arrested on gun charges.

K9 Officer Olson made a traffic stop the area of Mission Boulevard and E Street at 4 p.m. The driver was on searchable probation for gun charges, which led to the car being search.

Police say a passenger had the semiautomatic handgun concealed in the waistband of her pants, but say the driver her the loaded handgun to prevent officers from finding it.
