In a shocking find, a military weapon was found in the basement of a home in Brooklyn, according to law enforcement sources.
The device, which sources said had the looks of a rocket launcher, was spotted in the basement of the home in East Flatbush just after 12 p.m.
Chopper 4 footage showed a large law enforcement presence at the scene on East 35th Street near Linden Boulevard. Police did not confirm what kind of weapon it was, but said that it was not loaded.
A plumber working in the basement of the home came across the device before backing out and calling police, sources said. The device was said to have some insulation inside of it.
