PALMDALE - Three men from Littlerock were arrested Tuesday when a team of special enforcement bureau deputies seized a large cache of weapons and white supremacist materials.

The raid was carried out on the 10000 block of East Avenue S-4 when the deputies served a high-risk search warrant at 5 a.m., according to Deputy Jodi Wolfe of the Sheriff’s Palmdale Station.

The investigation began three weeks ago when a storage unit in Palmdale was burglarized and four guns were stolen, Wolfe said.

Deputies recovered several stolen guns in an underground bunker which included a 25-yard shooting range in an out building behind the primary structure on the property. A large cache of weapons and ammunition as well as white supremacist paraphernalia were taken into custody.

Among the items confiscated were six pistols, 11 rifles, a World War II machine gun, more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition, about 150 magazines and about 50 high capacity magazines.

The suspects arrested were Todd Hunt, 54, Royce Gresham, 33, and Larry Finnell, 62.

Bail was set at $35,000 for each suspect. Hunt was booked for possession of an assault weapon, Gresham and Finnell both for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

All three are scheduled to be arraigned at the Antelope Valley Court House on Thursday.
