Exclusive: Weapons cache found in Brooklyn woman's apartment

BATH BEACH, Brooklyn (WABC) -- A woman is facing felony charges, accused of stockpiling weapons in Brooklyn.

In the pictures, obtained exclusively by Eyewitness News, you can see enough hardware to start a small war.

There were dozens of weapons, including a grenade launcher along with live grenades, assault weapons, high capacity magazines, and 10,000 rounds of ammunition.

All in this unassuming brownstone on a quiet block of Bath Beach where neighbors saw the police activity Wednesday morning, but never imagined this.

"Someone said, 'Lock your windows, there's been a robbery!'" a neighbor said.

This was no robbery, but an investigation that started with a discovery by Homeland Security of a shipment fake NYPD IDs.

The police department Impersonation Division linked those IDs to a man named James Lee who recently died.

He lived in an apartment at this address. Police believe he is the one who amassed these weapons, and his wife, 53-year-old Helen Chin, was allegedly planning to sell them to get rid of them.

The complete list of recovered items includes:

- 6 AR-15 assault rifles

- 5 7.62 caliber rifles

- 2 380's caliber rifles

- 3 12 gauge shotguns

- 1 1.06 caliber rifle

- 2 25 caliber hand guns

- 3 22 caliber handguns

- 1 380 caliber handgun

- 2 flair guns

- 1 grenade launcher

- 100 High capacity magazines

- 2 drum magazines

- Approximately 10,000 rounds of ammunition
