Probable cause and the veracity of informants are determined by examining the totality of the circumstances. Illinois v. Gates, 462 U.S. 213, 238 (1938). We have observed that a detailed eye-witness report of a crime supplies its own indicia of reliability. United States v. Elliott, 893 F.2d 220, 223 (9th Cir.), modified, 904 F.2d 25 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 111 S.Ct. 268 (1990).
