Speaking on the discovery, a detective from the Specialist Crime Command, Detective Superintendent Neil Ballard said “London is a safer place after the seizure of these 25 firearms and ammunition, which we suspect were soon to be used in violence and shootings in London.
“We believe these firearms were obtained from around the UK, the ammunition was manufactured at this address, and the guns with ammunition were then being supplied across London gangs. There has been an increase of Pin-fire revolvers found within London in recent months.
“Tackling violence is our top priority and I can definitely say that this seizure will contribute strongly to our long-term strategy of reducing violence and gun crime in the capital.
