Cops: Loaded gun found hidden in fake bible in NYC
NEW YORK - New York City police say during a traffic stop they found a loaded gun inside a hollowed-out lockbox made to look like a Bible.
According to CBS New York, the container resembled a leather-bound version of the King James Bible. But instead of the word of God, it contained a loaded Glock 17, 10 bullets and a magazine.
Officers say they made the discovery early Monday in Brooklyn after pulling over a car with tinted windows.
Police say they searched the car after smelling a strong odor of marijuana. They also say they found an open alcohol container and a knife.
The driver and two passengers were charged with weapon and marijuana possession.
