At a Monday press conference, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz shared some details about the six-month investigation and  said ‘the city is safer today.’

‘My Crime Strategies and Intelligence Bureau launches investigations every day so that we find illegal weapons, including guns and in this case explosive devices,’ Katz said.

‘We cannot measure the number of lives that were saved, but we do know that these weapons will never hurt anyone. 

‘My Crime Strategies and Intelligence Bureau launched this investigation. Upon securing a search warrant we worked with the NYPD, Homeland Security, State Police and uncovered eight fully operable bombs, several guns and numerous other weapons.’

NYPD Commissioner Edward A. Caban said the cache of weapons found, explosives and untraceable, 3D-printed ghost guns, had the ‘potential to wreak horrendous carnage.’

‘Today’s charges underscore the harsh reality that our communities contain a small number of people who conceivably harbor evil intent,’ he said.

He expressed gratitude to the NYPD investigators, local, state, and federal law enforcement partners, for their ‘persistence in identifying, investigating, and holding fully accountable anyone who poses a risk to New Yorkers’ safety and well-being.’

 Their next court date is schedule for February 15.
