A man has been arrested over the discovery of a large haul of guns in Glasgow. Officers from the Greater Glasgow Serious and Organised Crime Unit raided a property in Broomhill Drive at 5am on Thursday and arrested a 44-year-old man.
The operation follows the recovery of what police described as a large number of prohibited firearms'' at a delivery courier company in Fullarton Drive in the Tollcross area of the city on June 11.
The 44-year-old man was charged in connection with the recovery and is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Friday.
Detective Chief Inspector Fergus Hutcheson said: This operation has resulted in a significant number of weapons being seized, thereby reducing the harm they may have posed.
We remain committed to protecting the public and we will continue to target anyone involved in criminal activity which potentially causes our communities harm.
''If anyone has any concerns regarding suspicious or criminal activity they can be assured that police will act.''
