Three people have been arrested today in St Albans on charges of importing firearms, following the carrying out of a search warrant.
A 30-year-old man, a 37-year-old man and a 39-year-old man, all city residents, were taken into custody for questioning.
This came after a property in Catherine Street was searched by armed police from the Eastern Region Special Operations Unit (ERSOU), carrying out a warrant as part of a larger, ongoing investigation into firearm importing.
Detective Inspector David Skarratts, from ERSOU, said: “This was a planned operation as part of an on-going investigation into the importation of firearms, and there is no wider threat to the public.
“We’re committed to tackling firearms criminality in Hertfordshire and beyond in order to make the eastern region a safer place.”
Hertfordshire Police have been contacted for comment.
