Queens man found with AK-47 assault rifle, 17,000 rounds of ammunition

New York Post – by Shawn Cohen

A Queens man was found with a cache of weapons that included an AK-47 assault rifle and 17,000 rounds of ammunition after police learned he ordered a fake NYPD police ID online, police said.

Lee Bergman, 43, was arrested Tuesday morning when police discovered the arsenal in a safe in his home at 81-00 Shore Front Parkway in Far Rockaway.  

The Internal Affairs Bureau’s police impersonation unit launched the investigation based on a tip that he ordered forged NYPD identification cards over the Internet. After intercepting the package, they executed a search warrant at 7 a.m. Tuesday.

Bergman refused to unlock the safe, so an emergency services unit forced it open. They discovered an AK-47, eight handguns, five shotguns, two hunting rifles and six flare guns, along with a pistol version of an AR15 that was found to be stolen from Pennsylvania. Also recovered was a fake NYPD shield and four forged police identification cards.

Bergman was charged with various felonies including criminal impersonation of a police officer, possession of forged instruments, and weapons and narcotics offenses, and numerous misdemeanors.

  1. That’s a nice communist picture. “Hey, look at all the stuff we just stole from somebody.” “Say free stolen stuff.”
    “Free stolen stuff!” CLICK

  2. “… he ordered a fake NYPD police ID online,…”
    “Also recovered was a fake NYPD shield and four forged police identification cards.”

    O.K., this guy NEEDS to be locked up.

    Anyone impersonating a pig would only be doing it for an evil reason.

  3. Oh…. thank God they caught him.
    It might have been another Sandy Hook..er.
    Thank god it wasn’t 17k rounds of shots at the bar.
    The whole town would be dead.
