Two brothers were arrested on New York’s Long Island Thursday after police discovered assault rifles, bomb-making instructions and Nazi paraphernalia in their home.
(FOX)- The New York Times reported that Edward Perkowski, 29, of Mount Sinai, faces weapons and drug charges after police found marijuana and hallcinogenic mushrooms during a search of the home.
Edward’s brother, 25-year-old Sean Perkowski, was arrested on an unrelated outstanding bench warrant.
Suffolk County Police Commissioner Timothy Sini described Edward Perkowski as a “clear public threat” and said investigators “might have prevented a deadly, violent incident, like the one we recently saw in Orlando.”
In all, police recovered 10 assault rifles, one handgun, high-capacity magazines, one shotgun, a stun-gun and more than $40,000 in cash. They also discovered multiple flags bearing the Nazi swastika and the emblem of the SS, as well as a framed photgraph of Adolf Hitler.
