Machine-Gun Parts Found During Search

Simi Valley police were searching Tuesday for a 33-year-old man after they discovered a large cache of machine-gun parts, silencers and other material used to make weapons while serving a search warrant at his home.

Agents from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms have joined the investigation and will likely issue a federal warrant for the arrest of Nick Arbuckle today, said Sgt. Sterling Johnson of the Simi Valley Police Department.

Johnson said officers and probation officials discovered the cache after serving the search warrant Wednesday at Arbuckle’s home in the 2600 block of Daunet Avenue.

Officers also found written directions on how to assemble weapons.
