About 40 people gathered aboard a large party bus on Thursday night, celebrating a birthday as the bus roamed Brooklyn and made its way to Times Square. Some in the crowd shared pictures on social media, posing with firearms while inside.
For more than three hours, investigators surveilled the rolling party as it traveled from Brooklyn to Manhattan and then to the Dumbo neighborhood of Brooklyn.
The police stopped the bus near Front and York Streets, recovering eight loaded handguns and arresting 14 people, including three juveniles, on weapons possession charges.
Officials are now investigating ties between some of the revelers arrested and Brooklyn’s Road to Riches gang, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation.
