The four were arrested earlier this month after a traffic stop on Thompson Mill Road near Pebble Brook Drive in Buford, according to Cpl. Illana T. Spellman.

Three handguns and marijuana were found when an officer searched the vehicle, according to Spellman. All four subjects denied being gang members.
