SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Los Angeles police seized 388 guns from one man, more than were recovered in the city all last year, a police spokeswoman said on Saturday.



Police seized 11 guns on Thursday from the car of Wayne Wright, 56, along with another he had illegally sold to an undercover officer. After his arrest, police searched his home in the nearby suburb of Simi Valley and found 376 more firearms.


"Last year there were 348 firearms seized (in Los Angeles). This year there have been 411, including the 388 that were seized from Wayne Wright," Officer Sandra Escalante said.


"There were rifles, shotguns, handguns and assault weapons" recovered from Wright's home, Escalante said.


A silencer and thousands of rounds of ammunition, including armor-piercing rounds, were also recovered from Wright's home, Escalante said. Possession of a silencer and armor-piercing bullets are felonies in California, she noted.
