The police in Rivers said in Port Harcourt on Monday that it seized a cache of arms in a special operation carried out in Ahoada Local Government Area of the state.
.
The Commissioner of Police, Mr Joseph Mbu, told newsmen that the arms were seized after the police foiled an attack on two bullion vans belonging to a first generation bank.
.
He said that the suspects had attempted to rob the bullion vans before security operatives intervened.
.
Mbu said that a suspect during interrogation confessed to the crime and thereafter revealed their arms cache.
.
The commissioner said the command seized two General Purpose Machine guns with 593 rounds of 7.62 live ammunition, and eight AK-47 rifles with 1635 rounds of 7.62 live ammunition.
.
Others were six AK-49 rifles, G3 rifle, two Pump Action guns, 22 locally made guns, 182 live cartridges, two gas cylinders and two welding pipes.
Our policemen are simply doing very well right about now with the kind of good reports we've been hearing about them. I hope it stays that way.
