Authorities have arrested a Santa Rosa man on suspicion of firearm trafficking after an extended investigation involving U.S. Postal Inspectors and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, police said.
In late April, police in Santa Rosa were alerted to a suspect who had allegedly tried to import a firearm precursor part from China and was intercepted at U.S. Customs and Border Protection and turned over to investigators. On Tuesday, Santa Rosa police detectives with agents from Homeland Security and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service served a search warrant in the 500 block of El Capitan Way in Santa Rosa .
Kim, a convicted felon, allegedly had a total of 19 firearms, two of which are considered to be short-barreled assault weapons under California law. He also allegedly had high-capacity magazines and ammunition. As a felon he is barred from being in possession of firearms and/or ammunition.
