An episode of violence preceded the seizure.
Police arrested a 56-year-old man accused of shooting and wounding a 43-year-old woman in the South Side.
After the arrest, the agents carried out a routine search of the subject’s home, where they found a large amount of weapons.
According to Telemundo news, uniformed officers found between 50 and 60 weapons of various kinds.
The arsenal had rifles, shotguns, pistols and revolvers, plus a lot of ammunition.
The detainee has a record of imprisonment after being convicted of the illegal manufacture of ammunition.
He will now have to answer for the assault committed and for further offences related to the illegal possession of weapons.
