Suspect in Holmby Hills weapons case released on $50,000 bail
HOLMBY HILLS, LOS ANGELES (KABC) – Los Angeles police and federal agents seized more than 1,000 firearms and thousands of rounds of ammunition after executing a search warrant at a home in the Holmby Hills neighborhood.
One man was arrested and booked on weapons charges.
He was later identified as Girard Damien Saenz, 57, from Los Angeles. He shows up on property records alongside Cynthia Beck, a former mistress to Gordon Getty, one of the world's richest men. It is unclear how Saenz and Beck are connected.
Neighbors say they believe Saenz has lived at the property for nearly 20 years.
Saenz was released on $50,000 bail Thursday morning.
The weapons were found stacked all around the home, described as a large house with multiple rooms that was cluttered with guns and ammunition.
The weapons were described as a wide range of makes and models - assault weapons, rifles, shotguns and handguns - of different ages.
Many were modern and some went back 50 years or more. A few were even collectibles that dated back to the Civil War.
"I had never seen so many weapons in my career of 31 years," said LAPD Lt. Chris Ramirez. "That's such a big arsenal in a residence like this, in this type of neighborhood. It's astounding."
