It seems Christmas arrived a bit early this year for some City cops in South Ozone Park.
A search warrant executed last Thursday morning by police officers from the 106th Precinct, the NYPD’s Intelligence Bureau, and Emergency Service Unit at a residence in the south Queens neighborhood led to three arrests, a cache of weapons and narcotics.
According to authorities, the warrant stemmed from an investigation by 106th Precinct Intelligence officers.
“Through precision policing and investigations led by Field Intelligence officers and precinct officers we’re taking guns and drugs off the street to keep the community safe,” said Sgt. Joe Muir, who works out of the 106.
A 48-year-old woman, and two men, aged 21 and 20, were taken into custody.
Cops recovered a .25-caliber Raven semi-automatic handgun; 11 rounds of .25-caliber ammunition; three rifle-style BB guns; a machete; two tiger hook swords; an unknown quantity of marijuana; and an unknown quantity of pills from the home.
