NEW YORK — Police arrested three people at the New Jersey side of the Holland Tunnel Tuesday morning after discovering they were travelling with an arsenal of weapons and ammunition, Reuters reported.

At around 7:40 a.m. an officer noticed a crack on the windshield of the suspects’ vehicle and pulled them over. After searching police also found a shotgun, assault rifle, five pistols, both tactical and night vision goggles, body armor and a helmet, CBS New York reported.

Police say the suspects claimed they were driving from Pennsylvania to rescue a teenage girl from a drug dealer in Queens, New York. The girl was found in Brooklyn and is in police custody, CBS New York reported.

The three — identified as John Cramsey, Dean Smith and Kimberly Ardent — have been charged with weapons possession and drug paraphernalia charges, Reuters reported.
