OPINION OF THE COURT
Joseph F. Lisa, J.
The defendants’ motion to suppress physical evidence and an oral statement alleged to have been made by the defendant Edwin Gomez is denied.
At issue is the initial stop of the vehicle (a taxicab), the subsequent search of defendants and of the cab, the seizure of a weapon, and the voluntariness of defendant Gomez’ statement.
The People presented one witness, Police Officer McMahon, shield No. 27059, assigned to the Street Crime Unit. The court found the testimony of Police Officer McMahon to be credible. The defendants did not present any witnesses.
