The Jan. 11 investigation by SMCNTF agents led to the issuance of a search warrant at the home of Antonio Infante, 35, located in the 1300 Block of Speers Avenue.
According to SMCNTF, once Infante was located and detained without incident they searched his residence and vehicle, which resulted in the seizure of three handguns, two revolvers, one semi-automatic and an SKS assault rifle fully loaded with a high capacity magazine. Also located were hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
