Three NYPD rookies – on the job only three days – cut their teeth last week by busting two people with an AK-47 assault rifle and other high-powered weapons in the backseat of their car, police said.

“They took three dangerous weapons and two dangerous people off the streets,” said Assistant Chief Carlos Gomez, the top uniformed cop in the Bronx.

“Not bad for three rookies on their first week.”

Police Officers Sean Kelly, Leonel Rivas and Thomas Olson – who graduated from the Police Academy Dec. 27 – and three senior officers pulled the car over during a routine vehicle safety check point at E. 169th St. and the Grand Concourse around 6 p.m. on Jan. 5.

The officers learned that the driver, Francisco Hamilton, 26, of South Carolina, was wanted on several New York City warrants after running his driver’s license through their computer.

During a search of the car, they also found an unlabeled prescription drug bottle with several white pills inside, police said.

The cops arrested Hamilton and his passenger, Shauntel Anderson, 28, of the Bronx, and charged both with possession of a controlled substance, cops said.

After they impounded the car, a piece of red luggage in the back seat was opened and inside police said they discovered the AK-47 assault rifle, and two semiautomatic weapons – a Tec-9 and a 9-mm. pistol. The serial number had been scratched off the Tec-9, police said.

The cops were at that intersection as part of the NYPD’s Impact Zone program within the 44th Precinct. Impact Zones are high-crime areas that are flooded with rookie cops in an effort to drive crime down. There are seven such Impact Zones within the borough, Gomez said.

The newly minted cops were under the direction of Sgts. Thomas Swicicki and Gabe Diaz and Police Officer Vladimir Tejera.

“This kind of good work is done every day by police officers in the Bronx,” said Gomez. “They made an outstanding arrest.”

Hamilton and Anderson were charged with criminal possession of a weapon.

Last year, 1,677 people were arrested and charged with gun possession in the Bronx.

Cops shot an off-duty city Corrections officer early Saturday during an armed standoff on a Bronx street, according to officials and police sources.

The Corrections officer – identified by sources as Victor Hernandez – was hit in the arm seconds after he pointed his .9mm service weapon at police.

Hernandez, 35, is expected to survive. Charges against him are pending.

Though the investigation into the shooting is still in its early stages, detectives believe Hernandez spent hours drinking at Legends club and bar on E. 161st St. in Melrose.

Apparently intoxicated, Hernandez left the bar just after 3:30 a.m. and was spotted walking along E. 161st with one hand in his pocket and the other holding his gun at his waist, according to police.

Two pedestrians called 911 reporting “a man with a gun” and several cops arrived at the bar moments later and were told that the armed man was walking north along St. Ann’s Ave., police said.

As cops put out the suspect’s description on the radio, an onlooker also also flagged down an unmarked NYPD car, police said.

Two NYPD cars – one carrying plainclothes cops from the 40 precinct Anti-Crime team, the other plainclothes cops from Patrol Borough Bronx Anti-Crime unit – converged on Hernandez, who was standing in front of King Deli on Third Ave, police said.

Five NYPD officers, all with their badges hanging from their necks, hopped out of the cars and, according to witnesses, yelled “Police Don’t Move.”

But Hernandez spun on them and raised his gun – so the cops opened fire.

The Corrections officer was hit once and collapsed, his loaded gun falling to the sidewalk.

He was taken to Lincoln Hospital and is in stable condition.

Four of the give NYPD officers opened fire, though it was not immediately clear how many rounds were discharged, police said. Hernandez did not shoot, police said.

A police source said the confrontation was captured on clear video that shows Hernandez pointing his weapon at the cops.

NYPD detectives swarmed the gritty shooting scene in the hours after the confrontation and were probing whether Hernandez had been in a fight inside the bar.

Hernandez was hired by Corrections Department four years ago, according to an agency spokesman. He is assigned to the Otis Bantum Correctional Center on Rikers Island.

An NYPD tow truck operator who accused a vengeful Bronx cop of giving him a parking ticket says he was ordered to take a drug test after the Daily News started asking questions.

Marvin Robbins, a tow truck drivers’ union official, got a ticket Sunday for parking his Lexus by a fire hydrant outside his apartment in the Melrose Houses.

He says the ticket was written by Officer David Moshier, whom he had met two days earlier at a restaurant on E. 149th St. in the Bronx.

Robbins said he told the cop he was assigned to a special Internal Affairs Bureau unit that sends NYPD tow truck drivers to get illegally parked police vehicles.

Robbins was more than three hours into his shift in the Bronx on Wednesday when a supervisor told him to get a Breathalyzer and urine test, he said. All NYPD employees are subject to random drug testing, but Robbins said the timing is suspicious.

“They’re being vindictive,” he said of Moshier and police brass.

Robbins showed The News a receipt that indicates he was 6miles away when the ticket shows the violation occurred. He claims Moshier used his license plate to track him down.

NYPD officials declined comment. Moshier said he has never met Robbins. IAB is investigating.

A suspected drug dealer died Friday after being shot four times in an early morning fight on a Bronx street, police said.

Delquan Alston, 21, who took two bullets to the head and another two to the torso, was found lying in a pool of blood on E. 156th St. outside the Andrew Jackson Houses at 4 a.m., police said.

Alston was taken to Lincoln Hospital but died within minutes.

No witnesses have come forward to help detectives investigating the murder, police said.

Alston, who lived nearby on Jerome Ave., had an extensive criminal record, including convictions for drug possession, trespassing and disorderly conduct, according to records.

Investigators are exploring whether Alston was killed in a dispute over drug turf, police said.

Anyone with information about the killing is asked to call CrimeStoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.

A parking space really can be worth trying to kill for.

Cops are searching for a hulking man who stabbed a Brooklyn driver for not giving him room to park this week, cops said.

Vladimir Reyfman, 48, was sitting in his pickup truck last Sunday when the suspect stepped out of his sedan and asked Reyfman – who was parked on the corner of Brighton 11th St. and Brighton Beach Ave. in Brighton Beach – to pull up so he could parallel park his car, sources said.

Reyfman refused, saying he didn’t want to move closer to a truck that was loading in front of him, the sources said.

The suspect – described as 40 years old, about 5-feet-11 and around 250 pounds – calmly walked away and went into a nearby bodega, cops said.

But the bulky ruffian suddenly stormed out of the store, pulled a blade from his car and jabbed Reyfman twice in the chest before speeding away, sources said.

The wounded driver was transported to Lutheran Hospital, and survived the vicious attack.

“If he was any thinner, the punctures would have killed him,” a source said. “There was a lot of blood in the car.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477).
