FBI seizes military weapons, Nazi paraphernalia in Washington state raid
Two suspects were arrested during the raid and booked into Thurston County Jail for investigation of firearms-related offenses.
Federal agents discovered a massive weapons cache and Nazi paraphernalia during a raid on a Washington state home this week, following a theft at a nearby military base that resulted in the loss of military equipment.
FBI SWAT teams executed a search warrant late Monday night at a residence in Lacey.
Law enforcement seized an extensive arsenal, which included an MG42 machine gun, a World War II-era German weapon used by German troops.
Agents also seized short-barrel rifles, grenade launchers, explosives, body armor, ammunition, and ballistic helmets.
Multiple rifles had been strategically staged at windows throughout the residence. Agents also discovered scores of Nazi paraphernalia.
