More Than 500 Rifles, Handguns Seized From Home

AGUA DULCE, Calif. (AP) - Authorities have seized more than 550 guns at two Southern California homes and made one arrest after getting a tip that a convicted felon was storing an arsenal.

Sixty-year-old Manuel Fernandez was arrested last week after Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies raided his Agua Dulce home.

Fernandez was booked on suspicion of being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition and illegally possessing an assault rifle and large-capacity magazines.

He's free on bond. A call to his listed phone number rang unanswered Monday.
