Heavily armed ‘gun enthusiasts’ arrested in New York’s Holland Tunnel because of cracked windshield

Two men and one woman were arrested on Tuesday carrying multiple loaded guns, rifles and bullet-proof vests at the Holland Tunnel in New Jersey, which connects the Garden State to lower Manhattan.

A local NBC news station reports that the trio were stopped on the New Jersey side of the tunnel at around 8:00am for a cracked windshield. Authorities told NBC that a search of the vehicle turned up an array of weapons, including long-range firearms, handguns, bulletproof vests, and a camouflage helmet with night goggles.
