Two men and one woman were arrested on Tuesday carrying multiple loaded guns, rifles and bullet-proof vests at the Holland Tunnel in New Jersey, which connects the Garden State to lower Manhattan.

A local NBC news station reports that the trio were stopped on the New Jersey side of the tunnel at around 8:00am for a cracked windshield. Authorities told NBC that a search of the vehicle turned up an array of weapons, including long-range firearms, handguns, bulletproof vests, and a camouflage helmet with night goggles.

Law enforcement officials told NBC that the three suspects – two men in their 50s and one woman in her 20s – have been deemed "gun enthusiasts," have no known connection to terror networks, and that there is no terror threat at this time.
