Police raid off-campus house at Rutgers, find imitation firearms

On Saturday afternoon, police executed a court-approved search warrant at a home on Sicard Street, directly behind the College Avenue Student Center, following information about possible assault weapons on the premises. 

“The New Brunswick Police Department, in conjunction with the Rutgers University Police Department and the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office followed up on information received from individuals who attended a party at the house earlier in the day,” according to a press release from the New Brunswick Police Department (NBPD). 

The search turned up two imitation firearms — one resembled an assault rifle and the other resembled a handgun.

No charges have been filed against any of the residents at this moment, according to the press release. This investigation is ongoing.
