Huge firearms haul in London

London: In one of the biggest haul of firearms in Britain, the police seized "hundreds and hundreds" of shotguns as also automatic and semi-automatic weapons from a house on the outskirts of London in pre-dawn raids on Wednesday.

Most of the huge cache was recovered from a house when some 30 police officers conducted three coordinated raids in the town of Dartford, Kent, while U.S. authorities carried out a similar operation in New Jersey.

The police said the raids were not terrorism-related and were carried out as part of `Operation Trident,' which targets gun crime in the black community linked to drug trafficking. One person was arrested in the U.S., while a 55-year old man was taken into custody from the house in Dartford.

Detective superintendent Kevin Davis of Operation Trident said "hundreds and hundreds" of weapons were found. "This is the biggest firearms haul we [Operation Trident] have ever had," he told reporters. — PTI
