Police reported that Israel Fausto Anaya, 27, and Aaron Max Anaya, 19, were arrested Tuesday, Sept. 28, at their Lebanon residence in the 900 block of Wassom St. after an investigation led detectives to the pair, who are brothers. Salem Police coordinated with the Linn-Benton Counties Sheriff’s Office SWAT Team and served a search warrant at the family home, the location of which was not disclosed, where the brothers were taken into custody.
Detectives recovered eight firearms in the search, according to police.
