A Mt. Morris policeman, Officer Kyle Regal, with only two weeks on the job, uncovered a stash of guns in a car he pulled over for speeding on Chapel St., Mt. Morris, on Sunday night, April 3.
The officer was on patrol when the car sped by him, so he pulled it over. The officer noticed the driver seemed very nervous. He interviewed the man further, and subsequently asked the man to exit the car. While securing the car, he found 58 illegal guns along with multiple high capacity pistol magazines, all worth $377,090 street value in a duffel bag in the trunk of the car. The New York State Police, Livingston County Sheriff, and the FBI are now all involved.
Unable to find marketplace offers.
The driver of the car, Badri Ahmed-Mohamed, 36, from Ottawa. Canada, was arrested and was taken to the Livingston County jail. He was charged with first degree criminal possession of a weapon. He was arraigned and then held on $100,000 cash bail of $200,000 bond.
According to officials, it’s suspected that the firearms were being trafficked across the country to an unknown destination. The investigation by the four police agencies is continuing.
