Authorities in Santa Monica found possible explosives as well as
assault rifles and ammunition in the car of a man who told them he was
in town for the L.A. Pride festival in West Hollywood, a law enforcement
source said.

Early Sunday, there was a call into Santa Monica
police of a suspected prowler near Olympic Boulevard and 11th Street.
Patrol officers responded and encountered an individual  who told
officers he was waiting for a friend. That led officers to inspect the
car and found several weapons a lot of ammunition as well as  tannerite,
an ingredient that could be used to create a pipe bomb.

The car had Indiana plates. He did make comments that he was in
town for the pride event in WeHo this weekend. Source said they did not
know of any connection between what happened in Orlando and the
investigation has been taken over by FBI.
