Keychain-sized revolver, stolen jewelry found in odd traffic stop

Two people were arrested in Amsterdam after the police found a whole series of peculiar objects in their car during a routine traffic check. The objects range from a coin collection to a tiny, working firearm on a key chain. The police believe that the items were stolen and are looking for the legitimate owners. The car, with Bulgarian licence plates, was pulled over on Jan van Galenstraat on Friday. The driver of the car threw a gold watch out of the window as the officers approached. While inspecting the vehicle, the officers found a suitcase filled with coins and jewelry as well as the tiny gun. The male driver and his female passenger were both arrested. Items found in the car include the small firearm, which fires 2 millimeter bullets, jewelry, a pocket watch and coins from various countries. The Amsterdam police posted photos of all these items on their Facebook page in an attempt to find their owners.
