Police in Chesterfield County, South Carolina were tipped off about a man who may have been responsible for numerous burglaries. When police raided the home of 51 year old Brent Nicholson, they were shocked by what they found.
CNN reports that up to 10,000 guns of various types were recovered. Most of those guns appear to be stolen.
Authorities are sifting through between 8,000 and 10,000 guns, trying to determine where they came from, Chesterfield County Sheriff’s Capt. Daniel Scott said.
There were so many guns inside the home and in a storage building nearby that investigators stopped counting after a while, Chesterfield County Sheriff Jay Brooks told The Charlotte Observer.There were so many guns that they filled multiple tractor trailers with items they seized in the raid.
And there were so many guns, Brooks said, that top law enforcement officials from the area had never seen such a big stash.
Not only were stolen guns recovered from the house, but 150 chainsaws and taxidermy supplies were recovered. Overall, the home contained many stolen items of all kinds totaling over $1 million in value. Nicholson himself likely did not commit any break ins, but he did purchase the stolen items.
Nicholson is being held on possession of stolen property and bond has not been set. The case could stretch out over numerous counties and is in the process of being put together.
