Authorities were seen seizing several firearms, including a long gun propped up against a hot tub in the back yard, from 23-year-old Paul’s property in Calabasas early Wednesday, news station KABC-TV reported.

Authorities also were spotted leaving the home in an armored SWAT truck and a dark van, as well as a truck with several agents wearing military fatigues riding in the back, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The FBI confirmed it had obtained search warrants for the property, though the nature of the investigation is unclear, ABC reported. No arrests were planned.

The raid comes after footage emerged of a raucous party hosted there last month that appeared to defy coronavirus restrictions in the Golden State.

Paul — who films pranks for his vlogs — previously was charged in early June with criminal trespassing and unlawful assembly for allegedly disregarding police orders and recording looting at a mall in Arizona.
