Mr Guaidó has demanded the immediate release of his chief of staff Roberto Marrero, whose whereabouts are unknown.
The nearby home of opposition legislator Sergio Vergara was also raided. He was briefly detained.
The operation could signal a crackdown on the opposition by embattled President Nicolás Maduro, analysts say.
On Twitter, he said Mr Marrero had been "kidnapped" and that "two rifles and a grenade had been planted" at his aide's home during the raid at about 02:00 local time (06:00 GMT).
Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, Mr Guaidó said "we won't be intimidated" by what he described as a "vile, vulgar kidnapping".

A top aide to Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó is being charged with terrorism after he was arrested by President Nicolas Maduro's government.
Mr Guaidó's chief of staff Roberto Marrero, 49, is accused of planning "acts of sabotage" against officials.
Venezuela's Interior Minister Nestor Reverol said that "weapons and foreign currency" were found by intelligence services during a raid on his home.
Mr Guaidó has called for Mr Marrero's immediate release.
He said that the security forces had committed an "illegal and unconstitutional" act, adding that he believed the items allegedly found at Mr Marrero's home had been planted there.
Huh. You forget this guy just by a few days and he ends up doing even more shady shit. Moreover, there are articles in spanish that talk about Maduro hiring the spanish law firm Lupicinio Abogados for advice against the economic sanctions to Maduro and his followers in the political chain. I'll translate it later.
Same old song and dance from the Venezuelan government. Not the first time they've done this, and it won't be the last time if they're not removed.
