Police: Brookline man was loaded for bear - and humans

Brookline Police report seizing what they said was a cache of high-powered armaments and ammunition in a raid yesterday afternoon at a man's apartment at 181 Harvard St.

Recovered were 36 firearms included 14 high powered weapons, several silencers and a large collection of high powered ammunition capable of penetrating bullet proof vests.

Richard Becker is scheduled for arraignment on a variety of weapons charges in Brookline District Court today.

Innocent, etc.

I had a look at the picture of the goods - I'm hoping that this guy is somekind of weird collector (and yes, it is weird to have a collection of guns that large in an urban apartment), but the silencers and armor-piercing bullets seem to point more towards a much less mundane explanation.

This seems to have been some very nice work on the part of the BrPD - I'm interested to hear how they developed this info.
