ORLAND PARK, Ill. - A Homewood convicted felon has been charged with possessing 29 stolen catalytic converters, a handgun and cannabis in Orland Park.

At about 3:15 p.m. Thursday, Orland Park police officers were on patrol in a parking lot located at 288 Orland Square Drive when they located a vehicle displaying a Temporary Dealer Permit.

While inspecting the vehicle's identification through the windshield, police observed a black handgun with an extended magazine on the driver's side floorboard.
