Three men have been arrested after police discovered guns and ammunition at an address in Brixton.

Officers armed with a warrant raided the maisonette last Wednesday, July 10.

They recovered one Magnum revolver, a semi-automatic pistol and two hand grenades.

Detective Superintendent Chris Buckell of the Serious Crime Group said: "We are pleased to have recovered the firearms which support our aims of protecting the public and tackling gun crime."

The men, all in their early thirties, were taken to a south London police station. Two were bailed to return pending further inquiries, while one remains in custody.
