| [FoxNews] Three people who were arrested when police discovered a weapons cache in a vehicle outside New York City at the Holland Tunnel Tuesday, claim they were on they way to "rescue" a teenage girl involved in drugs, according to officials. Port Authority Police Department Superintendent Michael A. Fedorko said that Dean Smith, 53, John Cramsey, 50, and Kimberly Arendt, 29, were taken into custody after they were stopped around 7:40 a.m. in Jersey City, N.J. Cramsey wrote on Smith's Facebook page early Tuesday morning that he was driving to New York to "do an extraction" of a 16-year-old girl from a hotel room in Brooklyn after an issue involving drugs. Smith replied, "I'm there." It was unclear what, if anything, the weapons had to do with their plans.
Officials found multiple weapons -- some loaded -- including rifles and handguns in their vehicle, described by a law enforcement source as a "jacked up SUV." Law enforcement sources told the New York Post that ballistic vests were also found in the SUV. A spokeswoman for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Kelly Langmesser, told Reuters that counter-terrorism agents weren't involved and the case didn't have a "terrorism nexus." "If it's not terrorism, it's criminal," a source told Fox News. Drugs were also recovered from the vehicle, which has been cleared from the scene but is still being processed for evidence. | |

| #4 multiple weapons -- some loaded -- including rifles and handguns in their vehicle...a "jacked up SUV."...ballistic vests were also found in the SUV. I guess I need to do some truck cleaning as this pretty much fits my PROFILE. |

| #3 I bet the Police didn't do anything about the under-age girl in the Brooklyn hotel room. Too busy high-fiving over this |

| #2 It was unclear what, if anything, the weapons had to do with their plans. Not if you were around in 1976. |

| #1 Doesn't sound like terrorism. Maybe vigilante-ism. |
