New York City party bus bust: 14 arrests, 8 guns recovered
New York City police busted a packed party bus early Friday and arrested more than a dozen people after they were alerted to social media posts showing some passengers posing with firearms, police said.
The bus, loaded with 40 people for a birthday party, was stopped around 12:30 a.m. near the Brooklyn waterfront, police said. At least 14 people were taken into custody, including three juveniles, police said.
Eight loaded handguns were recovered, along with about 60 rounds of ammunition, said Assistant Chief Miguel Iglesias of the NYPD’s detective bureau.
