Two British men and a UK resident have been arrested in Greece near the Turkish border carrying over 200,000 bullets and 22 guns, police say.
A senior Greek security source said two Iraq-born British nationals, both in their 20s, were driving a trailer when they were arrested on Saturday night by coastguard officers in the port city of Alexandroupolis.
Greek police counter-terrorism officers and National Intelligence Agency staff were dispatched to Alexandroupolis, in the north east of the country.
Police also arrested a third person who was a UK resident.
In all, the men were said to be carrying over 200,000 rounds of ammunition, officials said.
The Foreign Office said it was “urgently” investigating the reports.
A spokesman said: "We are urgently looking into reports that two British nationals have been detained in Greece."
