Seventy-nine weapons have been recovered from a vehicle after it was stopped at Coquelles on Saturday by Border Force officers.
Police reported that the vehicle, coming from France was heading to Britain.
Two men – a Pole and a Czech national – have been arrested in connection with the raid, which was part of a joint operation by the National Crime Agency (NCA) and detectives from Scotland Yard’s organised crime unit.
