A couple with a rocket launcher arrested near Marseille
An arsenal of weapons including an anti-tank rocket launcher with a rocket, a Kalashnikov-type rifle, and ammunition were seized by police near Marseille, France, on Monday.Whether or not the woman was accompanying the man under duress, I'm sure she'll still have to be held accountable for participating in illegal arms carrying, and is just as guilty as he is.
The find came through what has been described as a routine traffic stop at a police roadblock in Port-de-Bouc, a western suburb of the southern French port city. After pulling over a vehicle, a couple in their twenties were found along with a selection of weapons including a military rocket launcher which was armed ready with a rocket, plus a Kalashnikov rifle and ammunition for it.
Both of the individuals inside the vehicle were arrested. The 25-year-old male driver is known to the authorities, reports L’Express, who states he has a previous record for “petty offences” and is a “delinquent”, but has no known links to jihadism.
The man is also known to police for domestic violence against his partner, who he was arrested with, and was under an order to not be in her company.
Europe’s open borders have made the task of smuggling firearms from south-east Europe, where they can be more easily acquired from former Soviet stocks, to the West, where there is demand from criminal gangs and terrorists, much easier – a point which has been repeatedly picked up upon by anti-open borders campaigners.And that's why the whole open borders policy will have to be dismantled.
Update: in related news, the police are investigating a payment of 2000 Euros made to the jihadist who committed murder at the train station.
