A BELGIAN man has been arrested in Marbella after he boarded a bus with multiple guns and ammunition in his luggage.
Police detained the man upon arrival in Madrid’s Mendez Alvaro bus station but it is believed the man’s destination was France.
According to Cadena Ser, the 25-year-old man was carrying a G-3, 7.62 calibre assault rifle, three magazines and a bag of bullets.
He also had a nine calibre pistol and three bullet proof vests.
At the moment, his motives are unknown but Policia Nacional have opened an investigation into the case.
It is believed the man could form part of a drug trafficking mafia.
Belgium had outstanding warrants on the man for robbery, homicide and kidnapping.
It comes after a spate of shootings in Marbella, including at the Los Naranjos urbanisation on April 2.
A 21-year-old man suffered gunshot wounds after being hit in the knee and pelvis.
Multiple people have been injured and some arrested in the area in the shootings, believed to be related to drug trafficking and mafia activity.
