An incredible discovery was made early Monday morning in Kaisariani, when a passerby alerted the police about weapons and ammunition inside a trash bin on 11 Riga Feraiou Street.
A TEEM (Special Counter-Terrorism Unit) team rushed to the scene and, after a search, found among other items:
- Two release levers from Argès-type hand grenades, rusted
- One defensive hand grenade with a detonator mechanism
- Ten mortar shell heads and various other components
- Ammunition of various calibers
- A disassembled 22mm handgun
- Rusted weapon parts from World War II
- Three revolver frames
- An iron frame from a Thompson submachine gun from the same period
- A frame from a machine gun of unknown type
- Brass knuckles, handcuffs, two collapsible batons, ammunition holders, and gun bolts
- 14 religious icons
The case has been taken over by the Investigative Department of YDEEA, which is examining how and by whom this material ended up in the trash bin.
