An interesting looking collection. ![[Linked Image from wishtv.com]](https://www.wishtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/S167729940.jpg) Homeowners dig up duffel bag full of guns in backyard
By KPHO/KTVK Staff | February 24, 2021 at 8:50 AM CST - Updated February 24 at 11:53 AM
PHOENIX (KPHO/KTVK) – Some homeowners in Phoenix found a duffel bag full of guns while digging a hole for a small tree in their backyard.
The family who lives in the house has been there for four years, but prior to that, neighbors said renters came and went – and before that it sat empty for nearly a year.
“There was a lot of vandalism,” neighbor Yajaira Enriquez said. “They had broken walls and graffiti. I think one time they even had, like, a little party, and I think the cops had came to shut it down.”
While there’s no record of the party, Phoenix police said officers were called to the home Sunday evening.
The firearms are now in evidence. Police said that because of the condition they’re in, it will take a while before they recover serial numbers that will determine who owns the guns, or even the caliber of the guns, or if they’re loaded.
“We’re very thankful for the family who called this in to make sure that if they are connected later to something … obviously related to a crime, that we have justice for that family as well,” said Sgt. Mercedes Fortune of the Phoenix Police Department.
The family did not want to speak on camera, but said they feel uneasy the weapons were buried in their backyard.
They were hesitant about reporting the discovery, but neighbors said they would have done the same thing.
“Yeah, I would have called it in, because I’m a gardener and I dig, so if I would have came across something like that…” Enriquez said.
Aside from the bag full of weapons, Phoenix police said another family made an unusual discovery on the north side of town: 5,000 fentanyl pills stuffed in a kid’s toy they bought from a resale shop.
“Again, they did the right thing,” Fortune said. “They made sure that they called the police department.”
Both the pills and the firearms are in evidence with police as they investigate.

What a waste of guns. The current residents are just a pack of snowflakes. They're 'uneasy' about having those rusted up, useless guns on the property. Oh, brother.

It would be interesting to know how much salvageable on each of those.

Could a "survivalist" person have lived at the house before? Could they have forgotten them?
The AR could have been cleaned up and a new barrel and bolt added. Both the top and bottom receiver are aluminum, so rebuilding could be done. Some of the steel ones were rusted. Maybe it was just surface rust. Yeah, if I found them, I would be cleaning them up and see if they were serviceable. Finders keepers.

I wish I found them. That may be a real M4 look at how short the barrel is and I believe the other rifle may be a Galil.

It will take a while to determine if they're loaded?
Good thing they brought in the experts......

And the other two look like a Mac 10 and an uzi what a waste. Wonder if those guns are cartel related.

They don’t all look to be in such terrible condition do they? I’m assuming the red is rust but the white is just dust?

I wonder what they kept...
Maybe whoever buried them got buried too?

Pre 64 Uzis are worth fortune right?
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Maybe whoever buried them got buried too? I bet they kept the Purdeys and Biesen Model 70's.

They should keep digging. The gun's owner is probably buried nearby.
