Three suspects, residents of Tuba Zangaria, were captured on Thursday with 61 weapons and drugs worth a total of about three and a half million shekels - a thwarting of the largest arms smuggling operation carried out on the Lebanese border.
This, after a chase by detectives from the Central Unit of the Northern District after the three arms dealers, who were finally arrested near the carrier junction.
The suspects were driving a Skoda and were arrested after police blocked their way.
During a search of their vehicle, 61 weapons were seized in two cases: 58 pistols, three M16 rifles and a substance suspected of being a drug weighing half a kilo.
From the beginning of the year in a period of only three months, the unit thwarted 4 smuggling attempts, during which 120 weapons were seized.
"Some estimate the value of the 61 weapons we seized at NIS 3 and a half million, but I ask that you frustrate it otherwise, these high-quality and new weapons, if they had reached the streets of the Arab sector, would have been fired!" .
