ARCHIVED - Civil War weapons and a double-barrelled shotgun seized in Elche
Police discovered the undeclared armory at a house in the Las Bayas district of Elche in Alicante province
Two weapons from the Civil War and an undeclared double-barrelled shotgun have been confiscated from a property in the La Bayas district of Elche during a routine anti-robbery patrol.
Elche Local Police were carrying out preventative patrols in the area on Tuesday February 1 when they noticed a "suspicious" parked vehicle and a man leaving one of the nearby properties.
After stopping the man and checking the police database, they discovered "a restraining order against a woman living at the property" had been issued and they asked to enter the house to check if the woman was indeed inside.
There was no sign of the woman, but on inspection, officers discovered the three weapons in a cupboard. There was no paperwork relating to the weapons so they were seized and a corresponding report has been drawn up by the police.
Last month, the National Police located and neutralised 18 explosive devices from the Civil War that were buried in an old foundry in Alcoy, also in Alicante province, the second time bombs have been found on the same patch of land in recent years.
