More than 1,000 guns seized from a home in upscale neighborhood of LA
More than 1,000 guns were found Wednesday in a home in the upscale Los Angeles neighborhood Holmby Hills.
Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and LA Police Department officers served a search warrant in an investigation of someone suspected of manufacturing and selling illegal firearms, LAPD Officer Jeff Lee said.
A man was placed under arrest at the scene for violating Penal Code 30600, California's law regarding assault weapons and .50 BMG (Browning Machine Gun) rifles. It prohibits the manufacture, distribution, transportation, importation and sale of any assault rifle or .50 BMG rifles, except in specific circumstances, according to the California Legislature.
Police didn't release any more information about the arrest.
