BEDFORD-STUYVESANT — A Brooklyn teen was arrested with a concealed rifle in his coat, police said.
Three plainclothes NYPD officers were on patrol in an unmarked car around 8:20 p.m. on Tuesday when they saw a group of four walking near Marcus Garvey Boulevard and Willoughby Avenue, according to police.
One of the individuals had a “large bulge” protruding from the side of his coat, police said.
After searching the 16-year-old, officers found that he had a 9mm Kel-Tec assault rifle hidden in a nylon bag strapped to his chest, according to officials.
The gun was not loaded, an NYPD spokesman said, and had been reported stolen from Schenectady, NY, in 2007.
The teen was arrested without incident and faces charges including criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of stolen property, police said.
He is being held on $25,000 cash bail or bond, according to court records. Attorney information for the teen was not immediately available.
