Detectives arrested two men and seized 16 guns ranging from handguns to automatic rifles after serving two search warrants on Friday for illegal manufacturing and trafficking of firearms, Long Beach police said.
Neighborhoods in Downtown, Central, West and North Long Beach have borne the brunt of the surge in gun violence, according to data mapped by the Long Beach Post.
Long Beach detectives discovered more than a dozen firearms when they arrested a Gardena man accused of pointing a gun at a woman and fleeing a vehicle collision, authorities said today.
