Authorities: Firearms and explosives found in car after alleged attempted robbery
Marlborough police discovered firearms and explosives in a car early Tuesday morning during an investigation into an alleged attempted robbery, according to the Middlesex District Attorney’s office.
At about 3:30 a.m., police responded to a call of a man dressed in all black and armed with a firearm near Boston Post Road.
Authorities learned upon arrival that Andrew Josefek, 40, had allegedly entered a victim’s home and demanded money. Police said Josefek then struck the victim in the face with a cell phone.
Police found Josefek’s vehicle with a second suspect, Kelly Walker, 34, sitting inside, according to the DA’s office. After police conducted a search of the car, they allegedly found seven explosive devices, four of them deemed live by state police, in addition to numerous firearms.
Upon further investigation, the state police bomb squad, Marlborough police, and Framingham police executed a search warrant of Josefek’s home around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday. Police allegedly found additional firearms and explosive devices, which were ultimately rendered safe.
Josefek was charged with possession of explosives, armed assault with intent to rob, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, carrying a dangerous weapon, carrying a loaded firearm without a license (three counts), possession of a large capacity feeding device (two counts), possession of a firearm without a license (three counts), conspiracy to violate the drug laws, and conspiracy.
Walker was charged with possession of explosives, armed assault with intent to rob, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, possession of a firearm without a license, conspiracy to violate the drug laws, and conspiracy.
Both were held pending June 30 dangerousness hearings.
