AzFamily reported the homeowners have lived in the house for four years. Before them, renters came and went. However, several neighbors tell AzFamily the home had been abandoned for a year with frequent break-ins.
Police said because of the condition of the firearms, it will take a while to recover serial numbers to determine if they belong to someone.
