[dropcap size=big]A[/dropcap] man with a fancy stash house in Bel-Air, where just two days ago authorities found more than 1,000 guns of all matter of caliber, is already out on bail despite having a previous arrest for a gun violation, according to public records. His speedy release and the relatively lax manner in which authorities seem to be handling the case is in stark contrast to similar cases of massive gun stockpiles in less affluent parts of Los Angeles.
"It's beyond comprehension that somebody can have so many weapons in a residence like this, in a neighborhood like this," LAPD Lt. Chris Ramirez told reporters after the bust. A massive stash of ammunition was also found at the residence.
Girard Damien Saenz was arrested Wednesday when local and federal authorities raided the affluent Westside neighborhood home of real estate mogul Cynthia Beck, his companion. Beck has three daughters with an heir to the Getty oil fortune, according to a report by the L.A. Times.
Sanez posted bail Thursday morning.
