THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) — Greece arrested a Turkish man after discovering dozens of firearms and other weapons stashed on his boat when he fell ill and lost control of the vessel, authorities said Thursday.
The coast guard said they responded to reports Tuesday of a motorized boat drifting outside the port of Alexandroupolis, near Greece’s border with Turkey.
Officers discovered 61 firearms aboard, including handguns, pistols and automatic rifles, along with silencers and nearly 3,000 rounds of ammunition, some of military grade.
