A police operation has resulted in the seizure of a cache of firearms and the arrest of three suspects.

The operation was launched on Saturday after officers received information that several armed individuals were gathered at premises on Shawfield Drive, Edinburgh Village, Chaguanas and were allegedly preparing to launch an attack on a rival gang. 

Officers of a specialist unit coordinated with the Southern Division Task Force went to the location and observed a Toyota Aqua motor vehicle, parked along the pavement, surrounded by a group of men.
