An indictment returned by a grand jury in Hackensack against 25-year-old Andrew Yoon last week identified five of the recovered firearms:

• .38-caliber Charter Arms revolver;
• .40-caliber Smith & Wesson Beretta semi-automatic pistol;
• .9mm Sig Sauer semi-automatic pistol;
• .22-caliber Sturm, Ruger & Co. long rifle;
• .223-caliber Remington semi-automatic assault rifle

Ridgefield Park police went to Yoon’s Teaneck Road home last Aug. 30 on a warrant from the Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department that accuses him of stealing the guns during a burglary.

Village police consulted the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office and brought criminal charges, leading to the 10-count indictment on illegal gun and stolen property possession counts returned last week. He also is charged with being a fugitive from justice.

A judge ordered Yoon held on $550,000 bail, which another judge later reduced to $250,000. He remained held in the Bergen County Jail.
