“Specialist firearms officers from Essex Police also supported the operation.

“Officers recovered three AK47 assault rifles, one submachine gun, two shotguns, one revolver, one self-loading pistol, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and 22 grenades from one container.

“A large number of stolen vehicles, several kilos of Class A drugs and a cannabis farm were found in other containers on the farm.

“A 31-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of possession of firearms, ammunition and explosives with intent to endanger life and taken to a central London police station, where he currently remains.”

Detective Chief Inspector James Harper of the Trident and Area Crime Command, said: “I have no doubt that removing these weapons from circulation has prevented death or serious injury.

“Trident officers will continue to work tirelessly to disrupt and detect such criminality.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
