KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Authorities led a man away in handcuffs on Monday afternoon, but his wife insisted police had the story all wrong.Kansas City, Kan., police said a tips call led them to a major gun bust, but one of the suspect's wives told KCTV5 News that she doubted the information was credible and that she believed officers targeted the wrong house."I can't stand guns, and I know my husband wouldn't have them," said Tiffany Princy.But police said they believed something else as they arrested Princy's husband and brother-in-law.Kansas City, Kan., officers teamed up with the FBI and the U.S. Marshal's office to raid the home on North 19th Street."It was done swiftly, and that's the one word I can use to prevent a standoff. It was just taken down swiftly," said Maj. Doug Hansen, of the Kansas City, Kan., Police Department.Princy said she came home and police were there."They took my brother-in-law and my husband. They had one of my daughter's in a cop car. My dog got out. I have no idea what's going on now."Princy's 4-year-old daughter and a friend's 2-year-old daughter were inside the house with the suspects when police threw a flash bang and raided the house. They said they believed guns and ammunition stolen from two Kansas City pawn shops were being stored inside, but they had to wait for a search warrant before they could look in the house."I'm lost. I just want to know something. I want to be able to get in my house and take my kid in there," Princy said.Kansas City, Kan., police said the FBI was taking the lead on the investigation, and there was no word about what if anything they found in the house.
