LOS ANGELES (CBS NEWS) — A massive collection of more than 1,000 firearms were seized from a home in an upscale Los Angeles neighborhood on Wednesday. Aerial images showed a large variety of weapons poured across the home’s driveway in Holmby Hills, CBS Los Angeles reported. Police were responding to a tip that someone had been manufacturing and selling illegal firearms, said Officer Jeff Lee of the Los Angeles Police Department. Law enforcement officers served a warrant around 4 a.m. at the home on the 100-block of North Beverly Glen Boulevard near Sunset Boulevard. They discovered a cache of guns, which included rifles and other long guns. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is conducting a joint investigation with LAPD. ATF spokesperson Ginger Colbrun said authorities have “no reason to believe the public is in any danger.” A man has been arrested, according to the Associated Press.

LAPD has made an arrest. By Cheri Mossburg and Amanda Jackson, CNN (CNN) -- More than 1,000 guns were found in a home in the upscale Los Angeles neighborhood of Holmby Hills, but authorities said there was no indication they were used in crimes. "At this time, there is no indication they were, but that could change as the investigation continues," Ginger Colbrun, spokeswoman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said Thursday. Authorities will trace all the weapons, she said. ATF agents and Los Angeles police officers on Wednesday executed a search warrant in an investigation of someone suspected of manufacturing and selling illegal firearms, Los Angeles police Officer Jeff Lee said. The property resembled "a hoarder's house" and it took 30 law enforcement officers more than 15 hours to clear the house and remove all the weapons, a law enforcement official familiar with the investigation told CNN. Police also searched a home about 15 miles away, near Chinatown, the source said. Police arrested Girard Saenz, 57, at the first house over allegations of violating California's law regarding assault weapons and .50 Browning Machine Gun rifles, Los Angeles police Lt. Chris Ramirez said. The law 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. Saenz posted $50,000 bail and was released Thursday morning. Details on the conditions of his release were not immediately available, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Deputy Marvin Crowder said. No formal charges have been filed. The complaint that led to the arrest involved the sale of firearms, but the investigation remains ongoing, Ramirez said, and more charges, including federal counts, are possible. Police didn't release any more information about the arrest, but the law enforcement official said they have not found any evidence linking Saenz to terrorism. In aerial footage from the scene, hundreds of guns are seen scattered on what appears to be blankets in the driveway. The weapons range from handguns to rifles. Police can be seen taking inventory. The ATF's Colbrun said in a written statement that authorities were anonymously tipped off that someone was "conducting illegal firearms transaction outside the scope of the federal firearm license" that the suspect possesses. Along with the weapons, firearm manufacturing equipment and tools were also found at the home. In 2015, Los Angeles police seized 1,200 guns, seven tons of ammunition and $230,000 in cash from a home. The owner had died of natural causes and was found in his SUV. At that time it was considered one of the largest seizures of weapons from one home, Los Angeles police said.

LOS ANGELES — A suspect was in custody Wednesday night after federal and local agents seized more than 1,000 weapons at a home in one of the richest neighborhoods in the country, authorities said. The man, whom Los Angeles police later identified as Girard Damien Saenz, 57, was held on suspicion of unlawful transportation and giving, lending or selling an assault weapon, said Lt. Chris Ramirez, a police spokesman. Saenz was released on $50,000 bond on Thursday. Police and agents of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives discovered the rifles and pistols while serving a search warrant at the residence in the Holmby Hills area of west Los Angeles. The weapons were taken from the home near the famous intersection of Beverly and Sunset boulevards in a joint ATF-police investigation. Real estate listings offered homes for sale at an average price of more than $17 million this week in the neighborhood, which is part of Los Angeles' Platinum Triangle. "We recovered over a thousand weapons of various makes, models and calibers — rifles, shotguns, pistols," Ramirez said, describing the array as "basically a stash or pile." "It's just beyond comprehension that somebody can have so many weapons in a residence like this in a neighborhood like this," Ramirez said. Many famous performers and artists have made Holmby Hills their home, among them Michael Jackson, Neil Diamond, Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Bing Crosby, Gary Cooper, Walt Disney and the power couple of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. It's not the first time a veritable armory has been found at a tony home in westside Los Angeles. Four years ago, authorities discovered a private collection of tons of ammunition and a cache of guns at a condominium unit in the Pacific Palisades area. Authorities valued that private collection at a $500,000 to $1 million.
