SUFFOLK, Va. — A 34-year-old former Navy SEAL faces felony charges after police seized more than 200 different types of military-grade explosives from his Suffolk home.
Investigators say Elbert Tillman Jr. had enough illegal explosives to do damage as far as a 1/3 mile radius from his home.
Suffolk fire and rescue spokesman Jim Judkins says police secured a warrant Friday and raided a barn-shaped garage on Ferry Point Road after receiving a tip.
Authorities seized Claymore anti-personnel mines, detonators, C-4 plastic explosives and tracer ammunition.
Authorities also seized 18 rifles, numerous handguns, two computers and 28 metal military boxes of assorted ammunition.
