A stolen firearm was recovered in Summerville after it was brought into a local pawn shop to be sold, according to an incident report.

Police say officers were dispatched to Hunter’s Outdoor Pawn on February 21, 2026, after employees reported a customer had presented a handgun for sale and it was flagged as stolen when checked through their system. Officers then had the firearm verified through GCIC, which confirmed it had been reported stolen out of Los Angeles, California.

The report states the gun was a Glock 21. Police took possession of the firearm at the scene.

The person who brought the firearm into the shop, Aaron Luis Carrillo, told officers he purchased the handgun last year from a coworker and indicated he was unaware it was stolen when he obtained it. The report does not state that he was the person who originally stole the firearm.
