Two men indicted for NYC stockpile of ghost guns, homemade explosives near power plant.

Two brothers, Andrew and Angelo Hatziagelis, face over 130 charges in relation to an arsenal of ghost guns and homemade explosives discovered in their Queens, New York apartment. The police found six operable and loaded ghost guns, assault weapons, protective gear, and eight improvised explosive devices (IEDs), one of which was rigged with a tripwire. Along with the weapons, authorities also found notebooks containing instructions on manufacturing explosive devices and "anarchist-related propaganda". The pair did not possess links to any terror or criminal group. The investigation into the purchase of firearm components and the manufacture of illegal ghost guns by the brothers is ongoing. The Queens District Attorney's Crime Strategies & Intelligence Bureau led the investigation, which began six months prior to the discovery of the weapons.
