JERSEY CITY – Local police and the county prosecutor’s office are investigating a .32 caliber semiautomatic handgun reeled in by a 71-year-old fisherman off Grundy Pier near Exchange Place last week, according to published reports.
City and county law enforcement are trying to determine if it is connected to any crimes, officials said.
Police say the recovered gun was partially covered with duct tape and had barnacles on it. They also interviewed the fisherman, using his son as an interpreter because he speaks only Chinese, reports said.
