California authorities on Thursday released new details on a huge weapons bust in Richmond last month where multiple machine guns and a million rounds of ammo were seized.
The arsenal was owned by a man who is legally barred from owning weapons, according to State Attorney General Rob Bonta.
The AG’s office released video from the man’s home in Richmond where local and state officers convened on January 31st. Bomb squad technicians from Travis Air Force Base were also involved.
Authorities found 11 machine guns, 60 assault rifles, and dozens of other firearms along with approximately one million rounds of ammunition of miscellaneous calibers. There were also 3,000 large-capacity magazines and 20 silencers in the cache of weapons.
Authorities credit a state database for helping them find the weapons stash. It’s called APPS, or “Armed and Prohibited Persons System.”
