Secret chambers are a staple in movies, but several cops in eastern Queens discovered they can exist in unassuming New York City homes.
The police officers recovered an arsenal of guns and ammunition in a hidden room after responding to a home as the result of a landlord/tenant dispute. A tenant at the residence had been arguing with her landlord when she observed a large knife and a gun in his waistband. She called 911 and members of the 105th Precinct’s Anti-Crime Team responded to the location. The officers stopped the man and recovered a large knife; then they requested a search warrant to look for the firearm.
On Thursday April 26, the 105th Precinct’s Field Intelligence Officer (FIO), along with the Anti-Crime Team and Emergency Services Unit (ESU) executed the search warrant. They found a hidden room behind a bookcase in one of the bedrooms and recovered 16 guns and over 10,000 rounds of ammunition.
