All four were charged with possession of a loaded firearm without a license to carry, possession of a firearm without a license to carry, possession of a firearm with a defaced serial number and possession of ammunition without an FID. They were all arraigned on Monday.

"I’d like to recognize the outstanding work of the Framingham Police Department in capturing these individuals and thank them for taking illegal firearms of our streets, "Milford Police Chief Robert Tusino wrote in a statement Monday.

Police did not release the names of the individuals involved.
