SOFIA, Bulgaria – Bulgarian authorities say they have seized a huge amount of weapons and munitions during police raids in the capital Sofia and a small village in central Bulgaria.

Deputy Chief Prosecutor Ivan Geshev said on Wednesday that police found Kalashnikov automatic assault rifles, machine-guns, grenade launchers and tens of thousands of bullets.

According to investigators some of the weapons were manufactured in a factory in central Bulgaria.
