Following a police investigation into the incident, a neighbouring property was searched, where officers found five unregistered guns, an unregistered Luger pistol, an imitation Glock, two silencers and a home-made pistol.
A 32-year-old man who lived at the property was arrested, with officers seizing $50,000 in cash from the home.
