Commuters drive through Holland Tunnel to go to New York from Jersey City, New Jersey November 7, 2012, in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
Police stopped two men in their 50s and a woman in her 20s on the New Jersey side of the tunnel after noticing they were driving with a cracked windshield. The suspects had been traveling to New York City.
Police said they found multiple handguns and long-range weapons in the vehicle, as well as a camouflage helmet and what appeared to be night goggles.
The suspects are "gun enthusiasts" from Pennsylvania who are not connected to terrorism, two law enforcement officials told NBC.
The Holland Tunnel is a major crossing that connects New Jersey and Manhattan.
