Deputies Find Assault Rifles, Ammunition in Bay Point

BAY POINT - An investigation nabbed two arrests and more than a dozen firearms in unincorporated Bay Point last week, according to the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office.

The weapons were found after a search warrant was served at a home in the 800 block of Steffa Street around 4:15 p.m. Tuesday, sheriff's officials said.

During the search, law enforcement personnel located eight assault rifles, an assault shotgun, six rifles, two shotguns and a pistol, sheriff's officials said.

Twenty-five high capacity magazines and around 1,400 rounds of ammunition were also allegedly found.
