Arsenal found in a trash bin in Kaisariani – From guns to a hand grenade, discovered by TEEM

Authorities are investigating how and by whom this material ended up in the trash bin

Newsroom August 26 10:29

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.
