Multnomah County deputies seize nearly 400 guns in back-to-back busts, including largest weapons seizure in agency history


Multnomah County sheriff’s deputies seized nearly 400 firearms in back-to-back busts in recent months, one of which was the largest weapons seizure in the agency’s history.

Officials executed a search warrant July 29 at a Clackamas County home and found 337 firearms, thousands of rounds of ammunition and high-capacity magazines. Deputies also found methamphetamine inside the home, officials said.

The bust was the largest weapons seizure in Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office’s history, according to officials. The agency has not disclosed the address of the home.

A little over a month earlier, deputies found 44 firearms inside a Gresham man’s home, along with drugs worth an estimated $20,000.
