Overview
- Mossos d'Esquadra at a rest area near Figueres reported that a Porsche with French plates was left open after its driver ran to a Citroën C5 early Wednesday.
- Officers opened the trunk and found two sacks holding 12 long guns described as submachine guns and possibly AK‑47 type, which police consider weapons of war.
- Scientific police are testing the cache to verify if the firearms are authentic or replicas, and the haul is now stored in the Figueres station’s secure bunker.
- Investigators recovered a French ID and a recent Girona court summons for a man of Maghrebi origin, though police have not confirmed that person as the fugitive.
- An operation is underway to locate the two drivers, and detectives are assessing any tie to arms‑trafficking networks seen lately in Catalonia, including hybrid “frankenstein” guns from the Balkans and Turkey.
