Homeowners in a valley home were digging a hole for a tree when they dug up more than they asked for! They found a duffle bag with rusted rifles and handguns inside. They called #PHXPD and gave them to detectives, who will investigate if these firearms were used in any crimes. pic.twitter.com/3EKouHHtpr

The family, who live in the house where the weapons were found, did not speak directly to the press.
According to Yajira Enríquez, a neighbor of the place, the family has lived in that house for four years, but previously there were other tenants. And, before that, the house was uninhabited for almost a year.
The Police opened an investigation and hope to have more information using the serial numbers of the weapons. One of the questions that most interests the Police is whether the weapons were used in a crime.
In addition, it is not ruled out to investigate the family that found them, although the authorities did thank this family for reporting on the unusual finding.
