The recovery of a stolen shipment is one milestone in a cargo-theft investigation; proving who took it is another. Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies say they have recovered and returned approximately $500,000 in Sig Sauer firearm parts and accessories taken from a Torrance warehouse. Two Glendale men have been arrested, but the public account stops short of a filed criminal case.⁠1⁠3

Arman Mnatsakanyan, 26, and Ashot Yesayan, 23, were booked on suspicion of grand theft of cargo. The Sheriff’s Department’s Organized Retail Crimes Task Force traced the shipment to the two men, according to CBS Los Angeles. Neither an arrest date nor the particular evidence connecting either man to the alleged theft was disclosed. Both are presumed innocent.⁠1

The immediate outcome is substantial: deputies say all of the reported stolen parts and accessories are back with their owner. This is not an account of a half-million-dollar load still missing. But recovery alone does not answer how the warehouse released the shipment, how investigators found it or whether prosecutors can establish criminal responsibility.⁠1⁠3

A recovered shipment, an incomplete explanation

The cargo came from a warehouse near the 4200 block of West 190th Street in Torrance, according to CDLLife’s October 28 report. The warehouse’s name and the owner’s identity were not disclosed. Glendale is where the two arrested men live; the reporting does not identify where detectives recovered the goods.⁠3

Investigators described the alleged theft as a “fictitious pickup.” That phrase is the central allegation, not a public explanation of the method. The accounts do not say whether someone allegedly used a false identity, carrier credentials, paperwork or another form of authorization, or how the warehouse came to hand over the load. They also do not explain the steps detectives took to trace it to Mnatsakanyan and Yesayan.⁠1⁠3

The approximately $500,000 valuation comes from the Sheriff’s Department’s account. No itemized inventory, component count or independent valuation was provided. The disclosed description is firearm parts and accessories—not an established inventory of complete firearms. Those limits matter when assessing both the size of the loss and the department’s public-safety claims.⁠1⁠3

There is also a gap in the timeline. CBS Los Angeles’s report, published October 27 Pacific time, describes October 12 as the date the shipment was fictitiously picked up. CDLLife’s October 28 account instead says the department received information on October 12, 2026, about a load that had been picked up fictitiously.⁠1⁠3

Those descriptions could both be true: the pickup and notification may have happened on the same day. But the reporting does not establish that they did. October 12 therefore should not be treated as a verified arrest date, and neither account supplies a recovery date. The exact sequence remains unresolved.⁠1⁠3

What the recovery does establish

The investigation was handled by a task force formed in September 2023 to combat organized retail theft. It operates within the Sheriff’s Department’s Major Crimes Bureau and includes other units. Its detectives work with local law-enforcement agencies, other task forces and federal partners on cargo theft, CBS reported. That describes the task force’s broader structure; it does not establish federal participation in these particular arrests.⁠1

Chief Jose G. Mendoza praised the investigators’ teamwork and framed the recovery as a public-safety success.⁠3

Thanks to their incredible teamwork and tireless efforts, hundreds of thousands of dollars of stolen gun parts were taken off the streets, reaffirming our commitment to public safety.

The concrete result behind that statement is the recovery and return of the shipment. The disclosed facts do not identify a planned violent use, a cache of complete guns or a particular injury prevented. Recovering stolen firearm components is a meaningful result without adding an unestablished scenario about where they were headed.⁠1⁠3

The next consequential step is prosecutorial. As of CDLLife’s October 28 report, investigators planned to present the case to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for filing consideration. That is not the same as prosecutors filing charges. The available accounts establish no criminal complaint, case number, arraignment date, bail amount or current custody status.⁠3

The department is seeking information about cargo theft in the Los Angeles County area through the Major Crimes Bureau at 562-946-7270. Anonymous tips can be made through LA Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477. The request is broad; it does not itself establish that investigators are seeking additional suspects in this case.⁠1⁠3

For the owner, the reported loss has been reversed. For the two men accused, the legal outcome remains unsettled. A filing decision—and, if charges follow, the evidence supporting them—is what would move this story beyond arrests and a recovered load.
