Arms smuggling bid foiled

The NHMP on Thursday foiled an attempt to smuggle a large cache of weapons on the M-5 Motorway near Rohri and arrested two suspects.

According to a spokesperson, the personnel signalled a suspicious car to stop, but the occupants ignored instructions and attempted to flee.

The personnel pursued the vehicle with professional skill and intercepted it near Rohri. During the search, officials recovered 14 SMGs, one shotgun, 23 pistols, over 18,000 rounds of ammunition of various calibres, 89 additional magazines, four telescopic sights and five mobile phones from the vehicle.

The suspects, identified as Ubaid Ullah and Abdullah were allegedly transporting the consignment of weapons from Peshawar to interior Sindh.
