Hellenic Police officers stopped a suspicious vehicle on Wednesday to discover two AK-47 Kalashnikov rifles and ammo magazines with over 90 bullets in the Attica suburb of Haidari. The car’s passengers were a former convict, who had been released last June after a long sentence, and one other person. According to state broadcaster ERT, the two men were arrested.
