This is the moment police seized a rocket launcher and an AK-47 during a raid on alleged arms dealers in Sevilla.

At least three people were arrested and accused of supplying weapons to drug trafficking gangs.

Investigators believe the suspects acted as middlemen between arms suppliers and narcos.

The Policia Nacional investigation began in June after officers received a tip about a suspected network selling military weapons in the province.

Enquiries identified several people based in Dos Hermanas who allegedly arranged contacts between suppliers and potential buyers.

Police said assault rifles could fetch around €6,000 each on the illegal market.

During surveillance, officers spotted one of the main suspects travelling in a vehicle with another person.

The occupants allegedly fled after noticing police and threw a bag onto the street during their escape.

Officers recovered the bag and discovered a 7.62mm AK-47 assault rifle and a 64mm M80 anti-tank rocket launcher.

Both weapons were in working order, according to police.

The two occupants were intercepted and arrested. A third person was subsequently detained on suspicion of helping broker weapons sales.

Officers also searched four homes, including three in Dos Hermanas and one in Sevilla.

Police said the operation uncovered suspected supply channels for military weapons destined for drug-trafficking organisations.

They highlighted the seizure of the operational M80 launcher, warning that its destructive capability posed a significant risk to public safety.

The three detainees are suspected of possessing and trafficking military weapons.
