The officers stopped the vehicle and during the subsequent investigation found the gun and ammo. The driver, Jean Francois, 18, of East 87th Street and the passenger, Melchizedek Neverson, also 18, of Conklin Street, were arrested.

Francois is charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, three counts of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of a firearm and multiple traffic infractions. Neverson is charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, three counts of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a firearm.

Both will be arraigned on Nov. 7 at First District Court, 99 Main Street, Hempstead.
