[NYP] Amigrant accused of shooting two NYPD officers claimed a vicious Venezuelan gang is smuggling guns into shelters by stuffing them in food delivery bags, prosecutors revealed Wednesday.

Bernardo Raul Castro Mata, 19, will be placed in protective custody after his explosive accusations against the notorious Tren de Aragua gang during a Queens criminal court hearing.

Castro Mata told cops in hospital-bed confessions that he’s a member of the gang and was directed to commit robberies, according to audio recordings read by prosecutors.

Still wondering if this is part of a planned, bigger scale situation, for around Late Oct-Early Nov. 2024?
