St. Paul Police: Stolen Weapons Cache Found In Payne-Phalen Neighborhood

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Police in St. Paul say they found a cache of likely stolen weapons in the Payne-Phalen neighborhood.

The cache was discovered by someone on the 500 block of Nevada Avenue East. They were walking by their garage when they spotted a tarp with objects underneath.

Officers responded and found eight guns -- two pistols, two shotguns and four rifles -- and ammunition.

Police said it's possible the owner does not know the guns have been stolen.
