Several guns found in Rotterdam arrest

On Wednesday the police raided a house on Pleinweg in Rotterdam and found six firearms, including three automatic firearms, and a quantity of ammunition. The firearms and ammunition was seized. Two men were arrested. The police raided the house after a recently received anonymous tip. The police considered the tip so urgent that they almost immediately performed the tip. The two arrested men were present in the house when the police searched it. They are a 31 year old man with unknown residence and a 23 year old man from Spijkenisse. Both men are in custody for questioning. They will be arraigned on Friday.
