A San Gabriel Valley man was arrested after federal officers found more than 60 firearms in his home.
Authorities searched the home of 34-year-old Gabriel Baez Jr. after someone made a complaint that he was in possession of illegal weapons.
Homeland Security Investigators arrested Baez Friday.
When officers searched his home, they seized more than 60 firearms, including 10 short-barreled rifles; suspected firearm silencers; suspected auto sears and Glock switches; over 110 high-capacity rifle and pistol magazines; and evidence of firearms manufacturing, such as lower and upper receivers for AR-style firearms and jigs for finishing firearms receivers.
He has been charged with possession of unregistered firearms. Baez made his first appearance in court Friday.
If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison.
Multiple agencies were involved in the case including Homeland Security Investigations, Los
Angeles International Airport, the Los Angeles Police Department, U.S. Customs and Border
Protection, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
