NYPD uncovers cache of weapons submerged in Jamaica Bay
A startling discovery led the NYPD into the Jamaica Bay, where they retrieved more than a dozen firearms.
The discovery was after a fisherman found three assault rifles inside a plastic bag near Beach 38th Street and Norton Drive at around 10:15 a.m. on Wednesday.
Equipped with scuba gear, NYPD divers then recovered another 14 handguns in shallow waters.
The search for more weapons will continue.
