Secaucus Officer Salvatore Manente Jr. spotted the parked Penske moving truck, occupied by Fabian D. Soto, 30, of New York, NY, and Fatah Iarkane, 23 of Secaucus, around 12 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 21, Chief Dennis Miller said.
Soto, the driver, handed the officer a Virginia license plate, but a check of the registration revealed it had been stolen out of Georgia. further investigation found a loaded 9mm handgun along with a single .357 caliber hollow point round of ammunition, Miller said.
The handgun was determined to be a “Ghost Gun,” since the gun parts were assembled into a functioning firearm assembled from gun parts without serial numbers, according to Miller.
Soto and Iarkane were charged with receiving stolen property and various weapons offenses, before being lodged in the Hudson County Jail, Miller said. Iarkane had a warrant from Woodbridge with a bail of $1,000, and two from Secaucus with bails of $200 and $100, respectively.
