Detectives Mohammad Bashir and Yamil Pimienta were moving a group that was loitering at the corner of 10th Avenue and East 28th Street around 10:15 p.m. Wednesday when they noticed a double-parked blue Jeep blocking traffic.
The detectives approached Terrell Johnson, 29, of Newark and found him carrying a loaded 9mm Luger, city Police Director Jerry Speziale said.
The detectives arrested Luger, who was sent to the Passaic County Jail to await a first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Paterson on weapons offenses, Speziale said.
At this rate, the department would seize a total of 190 guns in 2020.
The Luger was being submitted to the New Jersey State Police Laboratory for ballistics testing.
