Ramadan Abdullah Arrested for Hording Massive Weapons Cache in New York State

A 64-year-old man by the name of Ramadan Abdullah has been arrested in Broome County, New York, after police found a massive weapons cache in a storage unit under his ownership.

Police in Broome County said that Ramadan Abdullah had been arrested on May 31st when he was caught shoplifting ammo from a local sporting goods store. Afterwards, police obtained a search warrant of Abdullah’s storage unit and recovered a large amount of ammunition, including .50 caliber armor piercing incendiary rounds, high-powered rifles and various handguns.

Broome County District Attorney Steve Cornwell, New York State Police, SIU and Johnson City Police Chief Brent Dodge on Wednesday announced details of a major weapons bust in Broome County, resulting in the arrest of one man and the seizure of numerous weapons.

"They did a great job of asking him very specific questions about the ammunition he had stolen and what weapons that may go to. He gave them some answers that were inconsistent with their in-depth knowledge of weapons which set off further red flags for them," said Johnson City Police Chief Brent Dodge.

In a news conference, authorities said Ramadan Abdullah, 64, has been charged the following:

- Four counts, criminal possession of a weapon, second degree, class C felony - Criminal possession of a weapon, third degree, class D felony - Criminal possession of stolen property, fifth degree, class A misdemeanor

Officials said that Abdullah was arrested by Johnson City police on May 31 for shoplifting ammunition from Gander Mountain. According to the Broome County District Attorney's Office, when a search warrant was executed on Abdullah's storage unit in the town of Union, the following items were recovered:

- Four loaded handguns - Eight assault weapons - 64 high-capacity ammunition feeding devices - One loaded shotgun - Two rifles

- Thousands of rounds of ammunition for rifles, pistols and assault weapons, including .50 caliber armor piercing incendiary rounds, numerous firearm parts and flak jackets.

Abdullah’s weapons cache wasn’t isolated to a single storage unit, however, as police executed subsequent search warrants on other properties owned by the suspect, which resulted in additional seizures.
According to the DA's office, search warrants were also executed at additional properties tied to Abdullah, resulting in the seizure of:

- Numerous rounds of .38 caliber ammunition - High-capacity ammunition feeding devices and ammunition - An additional loaded firearm

The New York State Police released the following specific information regarding the firearms.

Pistols:

- H&K USP Compact Pistol, .357 SIG caliber, semi-auto pistol, with laser (loaded) - Browning Arms, 9mm caliber, semi-auto pistol w/laser (loaded) - Browning Arms Company , .22 caliber semi-auto pistol (loaded) - Glock Model 30, 45ACP caliber, semi-auto pistol w/laser (loaded) - COP Inc, Four barrel pistol, 38 Special / 357 Magnum caliber (loaded)

Assault Weapons:

- US Charter Arms AR-7 Explorer, .22 caliber, semi-auto rifle w/ Sightmark Holographic sight - Steyr-Daimler-Puch A6 AUG, .223 caliber, semi-auto rifle w/sling and scope - Kassnar Imports AK47, 7.62x39 caliber, semi-auto rifle w/folding stock - Springfield Armory M1A, 7.62 caliber, desert camo colored, semi-auto rifle w/scope - Armalite AR-180, 5.56 caliber, semi-auto rifle, w/sling - Armalite AR-180, 5.56 caliber, semi-auto rifle, with folding stock, Armalite scope, and sling - H&K SR9TC, 7.62x51 caliber, desert camo colored semi-auto rifle w/ Springfield Armory Scope - Bushmaster Model XM15-E2S, 223/5.56 caliber, Semi-auto rifle, w/ leather sling

Political correctness aside, simply considering the name of suspect, Ramadan Abdullah, and the fact police confirmed he left the country (prior to being arrested), in addition to the amount of caches/weapons he had stored, there should be an obvious concern for the suspect being part of a larger terror cell operating in the United States.
State Police would not reveal if they believe Abdullah was connected to any terror groups.

"That is still under investigation. We do believe he has left the country. We have information to indicate that. As far as his affiliation with other groups, that is being investigated, we do have cooperation with federal authorities on that," said NYSP Major James Barnes.

According to officials, Abdullah was sent to the Broome County Jail to wait for arraignment.

Although Abdullah is now behind bars, several questions remain. The sheer amount of weapons and ammo he was storing is enough to arm multiple people, so what was his ultimate plan for these arms? Is he operating independently, or part of a wider terrorist cell that is stockpiling firearms for a future attack? How many more of these individuals have storage containers full of powerful weapons around the country?

As pictured below, it wasn't just a few hunting rifles and handguns that the suspect was storing. Instead, it appears to be a serious arsenal of firearms to be used in a variety of different situations, including the possibility of disabling vehicles with the .50 cal armor-piercing incendiary rounds.

Considering that political correctness has been injected to nearly every aspect of law enforcement and journalism, we may never hear another word regarding this story, let alone uncover the answers to these important questions.

I can’t imagine Ramadan Abdullah simply being a 2nd Amendment activist, part of a patriotism-inspired militia or an avid hunter. Although political correctness would dictate that we must not jump to conclusions based on name, race or religion it’s common to sense to connect similarities between past terror incidents and possible future attacks.

We can’t do that unless our “other” house was our primary house. *sigh* All our houses are in NY.

For the time being.

- Four loaded handguns - Eight assault weapons - 64 high-capacity ammunition feeding devices - One loaded shotgun - Two rifles

- Thousands of rounds of ammunition for rifles, pistols and assault weapons, including .50 caliber armor piercing incendiary rounds, numerous firearm parts and flak jackets.

I just have to re-edit that to strip the politically correct horse shi'ite out of it.

- Four handguns - Ten rifles - 64 magazines - One shotgun -

- A few thousand of rounds of rifle and pistol ammunition including .50 caliber armor piercing incendiary rounds, some firearms parts and an outdated flak jacket.

Based on the pics I see one flak jacket and as far as I can tell no full-auto weapons (therefore no "assualt weapons") and no rifle that fires .50 BMG. (so no way to "disable a vehicle" with the .50 BMG ammo. Unless you put a round under a tire at a 45 degree angle and cause a flat by puncturing it when the vehicle moves)

I welcome corrections as that's the best I can see from the pics.

He’s still stupid, but if he’s a terrorist, execute him now.

Some of these guys amaze me. He has an arsenal worth thousands and he risks shoplifting some ammo?

The 1993 WTC bombers were caught because of similar stupidity. One went back to the rental agency, claiming the van had been stolen, he wanted his deposit back. Clerk told him "Come back tomorrow." G-men were waiting for him.

Come to my house in east TN, or the houses of many other patriots. Aside from the .50 cal. ammo, what’s there is pretty much the same.

I’m still trying to figure out the .22 caliber “assault rifle”.

I hope they take a long, hard look at his friends. That collection could arm a jihadi group.

“Where’s the .50 caliber rifle?”

It was lost during a Police Boating Incident.

“Massive cache? LMAO”

I think that every time I see the word, “cache” used. I suspect many Freepers have much, much more than that.

I wince when they mention “Thousands of rounds of ammunition”, like that alone is charge-worthy. I have that just for .22LR!!

I’ll bet that the FBI were purposely not involved...

They certainly don't have the manpower to pursue this. Most of their personnel is tied up investigating what President Trump meant by "I hope".

The average NYC resident would totally freak out if he/she actually saw the number of toys many of us here in free, enlightened states have.

I could count my ammo in the thousands of rounds. Maybe about 3,000 for all the chamberings I own. I would never brag about how much I had here on FR. I’m very sensitive about being laughed at.

;^)
