The incident happened on Saturday, May 6 just after 5 p.m., when police were attempting to aid a disabled vehicle in Greenburgh at the intersection of Mountain Road and Blueberry Hill Road and recovered two loaded semi-automatic pistols, according to Greenburgh Police Captain Frank Farina.

One of these firearms had been loaded with ammunition in a large-capacity magazine.
