BROWNSVILLE — Four men were arrested in Brownsville Friday after police found phony licenses, credit cards, loaded guns and thousands of dollars in cash in their car, the NYPD said.
Two plain-clothed officers from the nearby 73rd Precinct were driving along Thomas Boyland Street in Brownsville in an unmarked car when they noticed four men inside an idling white Buick around 11 p.m. Friday, police said.
As the two officers approached the Buick on foot, they saw a man in the back seat swiping credit cards through a skimmer, along with a gun in front of another man in the car, police said.
The officers told the four to exit the car, and found a loaded gun on the driver, according to police.
After searching the car, police said they also found drivers’ licenses from various states with names and addresses matching two dozen phony credit cards, two laptops, 10 iPhones, a passport, pills, a loaded Davis Industries .32 caliber hangdun and a loaded .38 caliber Taurus.
Police arrested Angel Germosen, 18, and Lyndon Thomas, 23, both from Brooklyn, along with 23-year-olds Elder Hudson of Norfolk, Virginia, and Anthony Odenton, Maryland. All four men were charged with criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of a forgery device, and forgery, police said.
