Assault Rifles, Bomb-Making Instructions, Nazi Paraphernalia, Drugs Found in Mt. Sinai Home: Cops

MOUNT SINAI, NY - A 29-year-old man was arrested Thursday morning after police found weapons, drugs, and bomb-making instructions inside his Mount Sinai home, Suffolk Police said.

Detectives from the Sixth Precinct Special Operations Team, Criminal Intelligence Section, Narcotics Section and officers from the Sixth Precinct Gang Unit, Canine Section and Emergency Service Section executed a search warrant at 22 Miller Place-Middle Island Road at about 6 a.m., police said.

During the search, a .40-caliber Glock, six assault rifles, four rifles, 25 high-capacity magazines, one shotgun, one stun gun, $42,940 in cash, approximately 4 ounces of marijuana, approximately 26 grams of hallucinogen (mushrooms), 14 knives and between 3,000 and 5,000 rounds of ammunition were seized, police said.

Also seized was a notebook containing bomb-making instructions, scales, a cell phone, two computers and various Nazi paraphernalia, police said.

"Today a search warrant may have prevented a deadly, violent incident like the one we recently saw in Orlando," Suffolk Police Commissioner Tim Sini said at a press conference Thursday afternoon.

A resident at the home, Edward Perkowski, was arrested and charged with six counts of third degree criminal possession of a weapon, two counts of fourth degree criminal possession of a weapon, second degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and fourth degree criminal possession of marijuana.

Perkowski’s brother, Sean, 25, who also lives in the home, was charged with an outstanding bench warrant issued by the Town of Babylon, police said.
