KEW GARDENS, Queens (WABC) — Two brothers were indicted Monday after prosecutors say police found an arsenal of homemade guns and explosives in a Queens apartment.
Andrew, 39, and Angelo Hatziagelis, 51, are facing 130 charges — most of them for various types of weapons possession.
Police say they also found a 3D printer capable of making guns as well as a hit list with “cops, judges, politicians, celebrities and banker scum” scrawled on it during their search of the home.
Officials say the volume of homemade weapons found could have caused catastrophic damage.
It all started with a six-month investigation into ghost guns — or homemade, untraceable 3D printed guns– which led to the home of the brothers.
Officials say in the home the brothers shared with other family members, there were also homemade IEDs, assault weapons and ammunition, body armor, pyrotechnic smoke bombs and more.
Authorities say they also discovered anarchist-related propaganda.
The brothers were allegedly making all of this at the home on 36th Avenue, right across from a Con Edison plant.
If convicted, the two men could face 25 years in prison.

It can all be made on a 3D printer, including extended magazines that can hold 30-50 bullets. Other gun parts like silencers are all untraceable. Mike Marza has the details.
