Farmington Trash Picker Finds Guns in Box of Books

A Farmington resident got quite a surprise as he went through a box of books left out on trash day in Farmington Hills.

According to a Farmington Hills Police report, the man told police on Monday that he picked up the box while trash picking near Kenbrook Elementary School about four weeks ago. The box sat in his garage for several weeks before he finally went through it and found the two handguns at the bottom. 

The report indicated that the 6-shot revolver and semi-automatic were in working order and were confiscated. The man told police he could not remember exactly where he picked up the box, but he was willing to work with investigators to find the location.
