Perhaps August is the month of the social media. After recently reporting about a man's plea for drugs on Twitter, a new report comes in of a man’s bragging about criminal activity – and firearm collection – on a social media platform, leading to the biggest gun seizure in the New Police Department's history.

Yep, that's right, the biggest seizure of guns in New York, ever. Small time rapper and crook Matthew Best, 26 from Brooklyn NY – known as Neno Best – had obviously been up to no good for some time, scoring some ill-gotten gains and running black market operations in the process. So chuffed was he of his booty, he decided - bizarrely - to post incriminating images on his Instagram (aboive and below) to show the world just how gansgta he really was. Little did he know he just opened himself up to a history making bust.

Its turns out that Best had been selling guns from his studio and the pictures sparked a year-long investigation into the rapper. They discovered a mass gun smuggling ring that stretched along the entire coast of the United States – the resulting seizure found 243 handguns, 9 rifles and 2 shotguns (pictured in the header above); we guess Neno meant it when he said he was “packing more guns than the Air Force”. It also led to another 18 arrests in total - we can imaginbe Mr Best is not atop his cronies' Christmas card list at present.

When Neno's not behind bars for committing bungling acts of foolhardiness, he's found making ropey rap videos like the one below. Enjoy.
