Cops Seize Flushing Arsenal

Cops responding to a 911 call of a domestic dispute between a brother and sister on August 9 seized a massive cache of guns, swords, other weapons and ammunition, authorities said.

Police responding to a report of a dispute at an apartment at 141-04 Laburnum Ave. at about 11 p.m. found a 31-year-old Asian woman waiting outside, who said her brother had pulled a gun on her.

Inside the apartment, police found Leos Tseng, 29, surrounded by an arsenal of 46 handguns, 12 rifles, a shotgun, seven silencers, a compound bow and arrows, swords, daggers, knives and other "bladed" weapons and ammunition, including numerous orange-tipped incendiary "tracer" cartridges, authorities said.

Police sources said several of the rifles were military style and two were automatic rifles. Sources said the silencers are illegal in all 50 states and cannot be used in sport or competition shooting. Possession of a silencer in New York state is a felony, according to police.

Law enforcement sources said Tseng, who was believed to be distraught after an argument with his estranged wife, was arrested after a brief struggle with cops.

Tseng was charged with multiple counts of criminal possession of a loaded firearm, assault on a police officer and resisting arrest.

Couple Charged In Asbestos-School Scam

Investigators for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey recently busted a New Jersey couple for helping students to cheat on state certification exams at an asbestos removal school the pair operated in Jackson Heights.

Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said Juan Herrera, 61, and Julia Herrera, 49, who operated the Senagryph Training Facilities at 37- 42 72nd St., supplied answers on state certification exams to "hundreds of students" working toward obtaining licenses for asbestos removal.

Brown also said the couple routinely advised students who were in the U.S. illegally to falsify Social Security information on the exams.

The Herreras are facing three first-degree charges, including falsifying business records, tampering with public records and offering a false instrument for filing.
