Several armed squatters who had been staying in the basement of a Bronx apartment were busted by New York City officials last week.
At least seven illegal immigrants who shared the space with a small child were discovered in the Hull Avenue residence, where New York City Police Department officers also found a drug stash, according to a Monday report that cited Chief of Patrol John Chell.
Officers responded to the home around 10 p.m. and witnessed a man aiming a firearm at another person in the driveway, Chell said.
