Two men were charged with possession of a sawed-off shotgun and an automatic handgun and were being held in the Bergen County Jail, each on $25,000 bail, Police Chief John Orso said Tuesday.
Robert Cobb, 22, and Robert Scott, 19, were stopped in the parking lot of the municipal building about 9:30 p.m. Monday after detectives on patrol saw them drive back and forth several times, Orso said.
The men told the detectives they lived nearby and that the papers for the car were at their apartment, Orso said.
With the men’s permission, detectives entered the apartment at 2134 Mackay Ave., and found the shotgun and the .25-caliber automatic handgun on the bed, Orso said. They also found in a safe a record of drug transactions and $2,800, he added. Those items were confiscated.
Detectives later found out that Scott had two outstanding warrants, one for failure to appear in Bergen County Superior Court on a burglary charge and the other for failure to appear in Atlantic County Superior Court on a drug possession charge, Orso said.
Charges against the men include unlawful possession of weapons, unlawful possession of hollow nose bullets, and conspiracy to possess and distribute a controlled dangerous substance. Further details on the charges were not available.
Sgt. Bill Cullen, Detective Gary Moleta, and Detective John Klein, all of the borough’s Narcotics Squad, were involved in the arrest.
