Two Scorpion machine guns and 40 rounds of ammunition have been seized after Met officers arrested a teenager near Chiswick Park tube station. The man, 19, was arrested on suspicion of possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life and possession of ammunition in the early hours of this morning (March 2). He has been taken to a west London police station where he remains. Detective Chief Superintendent Craig Turner said: “The machine guns and ammunition seized could have undoubtedly led to the loss of life had they not been recovered in this operation. "Tackling violent crime remains our absolute priority and operations like this are crucial in removing lethal weapons from the streets and restricting the ability of those intent on causing violence.
