NYPD Arrests Eight Illegal Immigrant Squatters in Bronx Weapons and Drug Bust.

In a shocking incident, the NYPD arrested eight illegal immigrants squatting in the basement of a Bronx apartment, where they found drugs, guns, and a 7-year-old child.

Upon arrival, officers witnessed Hector Desousa-Villalta, 24, of Venezuela, pointing a gun at someone in the driveway.

When they pursued him into the basement, Javier Alborno, 22, also of Venezuela, attempted to escape with a handgun.

The apartment search led to the discovery of two more guns, including a "ghost gun," three extended magazines, ammunition, and drugs.

The presence of a young child in the apartment raised concerns, as it is unclear who the parents are.

The arrested individuals, including Desousa-Villalta, Alborno, Yojairo Martinez, Johan J. Cardenas DeSilva, Yerbin lozado Munoz, Yoessy Castillo, and Miguel Barrios, were charged with weapons possession and criminal possession of a controlled substance.

Notably, Desousa-Villalta and Alborno have prior records for attempted murder and possession of a loaded firearm.

Additionally, Barrios is wanted for retail theft and shoplifting in both Pennsylvania and New York, and several of the suspects are also being investigated for taking part in robberies in Bergen County, New Jersey.

The building owner was unaware of the squatters and is taking legal action to evict them.
