3 arrested bringing multiple weapons into NYC

[Ex3]

I'm glad the Port Authority Police were on the ball.

Three people were arrested with multiple loaded guns, knives and ballistic vests at the Holland Tunnel Tuesday when police stopped them for driving with a cracked windshield, authorities tell NBC 4 New York.

The three individuals, two men in their 50s and a woman in her 20s who may be from Pennsylvania, were stopped on the New Jersey side of the tunnel around 8 a.m., authorities said. A search of their vehicle revealed the weapons cache.

The guns seized included long-range weapons as well as handguns. A camouflage helmet with what appeared to be night goggles was also recovered.

Two senior law enforcement officials say the three suspects are so-called "gun enthusiasts" and have no nexus to terror. There is no known threat.

Drugs were in the vehicle along with the guns, according to one law enforcement official. One of the suspects allegedly told authorities the trio was en route to Queens to try to save a friend who is on heroin and being held against her will. Police are looking for the possible woman in Queens.

The investigation is ongoing.​

[DA SWO]

long-range weapons?

Shoots accurately at more than 10 yards probably.
LOL, arsenal.

Nice stop! I'd like to see the back story is on these three.

 

[Etype]

long-range weapons?

They probably had the purple tip rounds!

 

[AWP]

I'd have pulled them over for driving a stupid-looking truck.

That may have been what cost them an extra look or three. Go gray, and be small; this tuck was a rolling neon sign.

 

[Diamondback 2/2]

Thought they were going to wreck shop...almost made it.

Totally agree with the low-pro ride vs look at me monster energy drink truck.

 

[Ooh-Rah]

Hmmm.....you don't drive this, marked Higher Ground Tactical, in freeking NEW YORK and think you are not going to draw attention. Something stinks...

To Add: I need one of these cooler carriers on the front!

 

[AWP]

I love that they were there to save someone from heroin....and carried an ammo can marked "shoot your local heroin dealer."

I'd bury them under the jail just for being stupid and with ultra-poor SA.

 

[Kraut783]

heh, "driving with a cracked windshield"...love it!

 

[SpongeBob*24]

Where's the "Racial profiling card" in this one?!!???!!!!?:wall:

Side note, that would be a sweet tailgating truck....you can't see it but I guarantee they have a hitch grill......

I bet it's full of either Busch or Coors Light!

So... about that cracked windshield?

 

[RackMaster]

So can we finally ban neon green everything?

The early 90s will rise again!


Hoser.

 

[RackMaster]

Chartreuse is evil!

 

[Gunz]

In New York transportation of firearms and ammunition in an unsafe vehicle, i.e. a vehicle with a cracked windshield, is a felony...just like drinking Big Gulps or smoking.

I think the vehicles owner watched too many 80's re-runs of the TMNT.
