Eagle-eyed Anti-Crime cops last week arrested a man in Jamaica who was allegedly in possession of six illegal handguns.
The 103rd Precinct officers were on patrol when they observed a man inside of a white Subaru parked at the corner of 153rd Street and 109th Road. After noticing that all four tires on the Subaru were flat, the officers approached the vehicle. At this time, the man hopped out of the car, threw a firearm onto the front seat of the vehicle and fled on foot.
After a brief foot chase, the 28-year-old suspect was cuffed by the team, but not before one of the officers suffered a minor injury. He was taken to a Manhasset hospital, treated and released.
Investigators found six firearms, a large amount of ammunition, and some marijuana inside the Subaru. The suspect, whose identity was not made available, has been charged with assault on a police officer;
five counts of criminal possession of a weapon; six counts of criminal possession of a weapon—three or more firearms; criminal possession of a weapon—ammo clip; tampering with physical evidence; obstructing governmental administration; and criminal possession of marijuana.
