Sunnyvale couple arrested after police find cache of guns, including a grenade launcher, inside home shared with children

SUNNYVALE — A couple in Sunnyvale was arrested on Wednesday after police discovered a huge cache of firearms, suspected drugs, and stolen vehicles at their property on Waverly Street.

Police say the man had equipment to manufacture weapons and currency at the home, where detectives found rifles, shotguns, body armor, thousands of rounds of ammunition and a grenade launcher during the search.

The man and his wife are also facing charges of child endangerment since the couple’s children were present when police served a search warrant on Wednesday, according to to Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety Capt. Dzanh Le. The children have since been placed in care of the Santa Clara Department of Family and Child Services.

The search warrant was served following months of investigation and was based on information that the man had numerous weapons and stolen vehicles on the property. The couple was booked in the Santa Clara County Jail and in addition to child endangerment faces weapons and vehicle code violations. It’s unclear if the couple would be reunited with their children were they to post bail.

Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety officials are still looking to establish a motive and to determine if other vehicles on the property were stolen.
