Federal agents said Saturday that they confiscated 50% more guns than they expected to find at the Compton gun store they raided last week.
U.S. Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents discovered more than 3,300 weapons and more than 1.6 million rounds of ammunition at Boulevard Sales and Service and a sister store in Ventura County, said Susan Raichel, an agency spokeswoman.
In the Thursday raid, agents arrested a son of the store’s owners and an employee, and charged them with selling ammunition to a felon. The offense is punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
