(KRON) -- A suspected internet child predator was both arrested and booked into county jail on Thursday, the Marin County Sheriff's Office said. During "Operation: Catch Them All," a four-day undercover sting operation to catch internet child predators, a detective from the Roseville Police Department reached out to MCSO detectives regarding a suspect from this operation based out of unincorporated Mill Valley. "Roseville PD detectives requested assistance verifying the suspect living at the house they believed he lived in and with serving the arrest warrants," the sheriff's office said. On Thursday morning, sheriff officials said RPD detectives arrested the suspect "while he was leaving for work." Once he was arrested, MCSO detectives executed a search warrant at the suspect's residence. During the search, sheriff officials found 11 unregistered firearms and ammunition pictured below. MCSO said one of the firearms seized was an un-serialized AR-15 that had been manufactured from an 80% lower receiver.  AR-15 Lower Receivers are items that have not yet reached a stage of manufacture to be considered a firearm.
