Up to 10,000 guns seized from home in America

US authorities have seized up to 10,000 guns from a South Carolina home during a raid, in one of the biggest arms hauls in the country that has witnessed a series of horrific mass shooting incidents.

51-year-old Brent Nicholson is behind bars on charges of possession of stolen property. And authorities are sifting through between 8,000 and 10,000 guns, trying to determine where they came from, Chesterfield County Sheriff’s Captain Daniel Scott said.

There were so many guns inside the home and in a storage building nearby that investigators stopped counting after a while, Chesterfield County Sheriff Jay Brooks told The Charlotte Observer.

There were so many guns that they filled multiple tractor trailers with items they seized in the raid.

And there were so many guns, Brooks said, that top law enforcement officials from the area had never seen such a big stash.

“None of us have ever seen anything anywhere close to this,” Brooks told CNN affiliate WBTV. “No telling how many break-ins this will help wrap up.”
