“Bulgarian
authorities arrested seven people and seized a major haul of weapons and
ammunition that would have been enough to ‘arm two platoons’ in a series of
operations over five days, the head of the police's Directorate for Combating
Organized Crime, GDCOD, Ivaylo Spiridonov, said on Wednesday, showcasing piles
of guns and ammunition.
“The operation was launched on November 30 in Sofia,
when GDCOD officers arrested a person identified as Ivaylo Popov who was
leaving a garage containing 65 automatic rifles, 43 handguns, 37 machine
pistols, 400 gun barrels, 14 launchers for rocket propelled grenades, RPGs, and
around 50,000 bullets, according to the authorities.”
A bit noteworthy, police say
some of those arrested “previously worked in the
local Arsenal-Kazanlak weapons
plant, one of the largest producers of light assault weapons and munition in
Bulgaria.”
