Investigators said Thursday that they had seized a cache of weapons during a search of multiple Washington, DC, apartments belonging to two men accused of impersonating Department of Homeland Security agents for more than two years.
Between five residences and three vehicles that belong to Arian Taherzadeh and Haider Ali, agents found multiple weapons on Wednesday, including a loaded Glock 19, disassembled long guns, sniper spotting equipment, and ammunition, according to prosecutor Josh Rothstein, as well as handcuffs, radios, body armor, a surveillance drone and several servers. Agents also found a binder with a list of all the names of people who lived in their apartment complex, Rothstein said, many of whom were law enforcement.
Prosecutors revealed information about the search results on Thursday during Taherzadeh and Ali's initial appearance before a DC federal judge. Neither has entered a formal plea.
