Newsroom June 19 12:04

A post on Facebook directed at police officers was what led to the arrest of the 42-year-old in Chania, who, it later turned out, kept an entire gunsmith shop in his home.

As the protothema.gr report shows, the accused posted comments on social media against police officers, as well as a video in which he referred to police officers who were gathered at a certain point in the city of Chania, stating that “he will fire a shot and shoot them” because that is what they need.

A search of his home followed, which took place yesterday, Wednesday (18/6), with police officers locating an entire arsenal.

More specifically, found and seized:

– Two dynamite bombs.

– Five swords.

– 107 axes.
