A man wearing body armor who had a cache of weapons in his truck was detained while trying to enter a federal building in downtown Los Angeles Wednesday morning, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

The incident occurred sometime between 9 and 10 a.m. at the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building, located at 255 E. Temple St., officials said.

The man was trying to enter the parking garage when he was stopped by security officers who noticed a firearm in the man’s vehicle, DHS officials said in a statement.

Multiple loaded firearms and knives were eventually found inside.
