ΤΡΟΜΟΣ ΣΤΙΣ ΗΠΑ! Συνέλαβαν τρία άτομα οπλισμένα σαν αστακούς στη Νέα Υόρκη

Συναγερμός σήμανε σήμερα στις ΗΠΑ.

Τρία άτομα συνελήφθησαν έχοντα στην κατοχή τους πιστόλια, τουφέκια και αλεξίσφαιρα γιλέκα στο τούνελ Χόλαντ που συνδέει το Νιου Τζέρσει με τη Νέα Υόρκη.

Η αστυνομία τους σταμάτησε αρχικά επειδή το μπροστινό τζάμι του αυτοκινήτου ήταν ραγισμένο.

3 arrested in New York’s Holland Tunnel with loaded rifles, body armor - report

The three individuals were traveling to New York on Tuesday, but were stopped around 8 a.m. on the New Jersey side of the tunnel. A search of their vehicle revealed the cache of the combat gear, which a police photograph showed including a shotgun, a scoped rifle, knives, multiple pistols and several ammunition magazines.

Police described said that the arrested individuals were two men in their fifties and a woman in her 30s, and that they may be from Pennsylvania, NBC 4 New York reported.The Joint Terrorism Task Force is assisting in the investigation, a source told NBC4. However, law enforcement officials told the network that the three suspects are "gun enthusiasts,” and that there is no terror threat.

Investigators are looking into whether the suspects were planning to shoot a rival drug dealer, the source said.

The Holland Tunnel travels under the Hudson River, connecting Jersey City, New Jersey to Manhattan, New York. It is one of the main conduits of the New York Metropolitan Area, with nearly 100,000 automobiles passing through it every day.
