Long Island man caught with over 100 illegal guns: DA
LONG ISLAND, N.Y. (PIX11) — Over 100 unserialized illegal guns were taken from a Long Island man's home, which he is accused of selling to undercover officers, according to Suffolk County DA Ray Tierney.
Daniel Probeck, 35, was charged with multiple felonies, including criminal sale and criminal possession of weapons in court on Wednesday. Probeck's Medford home was raided by police in June after a months-long investigation into his alleged illegal manufacturing and distribution of guns.

'[Probeck] was not simply a firearms collector, he is alleged to have manufactured and soldillegal firearms,' Tierney said.
Investigators found over 100 unserialized guns, 12 3D-printers, 67 suppressors, as well as gun accessories banned in New York, ammunition and tools to make more weapons, according to Tierney.
Authorities say Probeck sold multiple guns to undercover officers, some of which were allegedly assault rifles, in exchange for cash.
Probeck is due back in court in August, where he could face 25 years in prison if convicted.
