A man who wore a Hitler moustache and is believed by authorities to be a white supremacist faces numerous charges after authorities say they found an assault weapon, a handgun and several rounds of ammunition in the New Jersey woods.

Lacey police say officers in a multi-agency task force were in the vast New Jersey Pinelands forests on Sunday afternoon looking for trespassers and criminal activity when they came across a suspicious vehicle.

They soon found Bruce Post III, who they said was dressed in German combat gear, and another man nearby. Post wore a short moustache centred over his top lip, just like the one associated with Adolf Hitler.

Investigators found an AK-47, a 9mm handgun, eight 30-round magazines, a 100-round drum magazine and other ammunition in the woods. The items were found near the vehicle where the two men were discovered.

Post, 42, who lives in the Trenton area, was charged with illegally possessing a weapon as a felon and several other weapons counts. His bail was set at $400,000 cash.

It wasn’t known Monday if Post has an attorney. A person who answered the phone at his home Monday afternoon hung up when they were asked if they had any comment on Post’s arrest.
