Two more arrested following Romford arms find

Two more men have been arrested following the discovery of an arsenal of weapons at a house in Essex.

They were detained by armed police at a house in Romford, which boasts a strong Irish population on the edge of Greater London.

Officers say it is not linked to six earlier arrests.

The stash discovered in Benfleet included anti-aircraft machine guns, hand grenades and a mortar.

Scotland Yard said there was no link to terrorist activity by dissident Irish republicans.
