While investigating a report of suspected child abuse, New York City police got a surprise: they uncovered a cache of weapons hidden in a false closet in a house in Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighborhood. Thirty-five people were taken into custody, believed to be members of a small group called the Provisional Party of Communism. While only five have been charged, the case will go to a grand jury for further investigation into who the group is, and what they were planning. NPR's Melissa Block reports.
