A contractor cleaning out a Brooklyn basement made a startling discovery Tuesday — a couple of grenades and two pistols hidden in the debris, cops said.
The worker found the inert grenades and guns inside the Bleecker Street apartment building near Myrtle Avenue while cleaning out the abandoned structure just after noon, according to police. The building is being cleaned for renovations.
The worker brought the grenades and pistols to the 83rd Precinct station house, where cops locked them up in the basement for the bomb squad to investigate, police said.
It wasn’t immediately clear who the weapons belonged to, but police said the investigation in ongoing.
