Armoury discovered

EVERY major investigation by the National Police in Spain is given a special code name, some of which make more sense than others and Operation Rambo seems aptly titled. Officers in Estepona were alerted to the fact that a property in the municipality had been uninhabited for more than 18 months and that although the electricity had been cut off the tenants had never officially moved out.

The company responsible for the property decided to visit and made such a shocking discovery that they immediately contacted the National Police.

They in turn decided to investigate the property and when officers entered, they discovered a veritable treasure trove of illegal weapons, ammunition and clothing such as balaclavas which had all been mysteriously abandoned.

As officers went through various rooms in the building, they collected more and more evidence and ended up with an armoury of more than 50 illegal firearms of various types ranging from a tiny key ring gun to pistols, shotguns, machine guns as well as silencers and ammunition.
