PESHAWAR: A vehicle carrying a large quantity of weapons and ammunition was seized by police at the Tarnab check post in Peshawar on Monday.

The Abbottabad-registered vehicle was travelling from Dara Adam Khel to Punjab. The two suspects in the car were also arrested.

Police claim the weapons seized could have been used for terrorist activities.

Authorities have confirmed that the suspects were transporting four Kalashnikovs, 12 rifles, 30 local-made automatic rifles and 38 chargers with 4,500 rounds of ammunition.

A police officer told Express News that they had received prior information of an arms smuggling attempt, and acted on the information, which led to these arrests.
