How can they be armed like that and with so many weapons. Must be hard to get hold of surely.
TX.
Organised crime and terrorist organisations are very resourceful. TX.
I was just thinking at the weekend, it’ll be a miracle if something doesn’t go off at the Olympics in Paris.

There is now a big war going on in Ukraine. Which is close enough by land. For the next 20odd years we are going to see the fallout of the weapons that leak out of the conflict throughout Europe. This lot probably are not connected to it. But just wait to see the amount of stuff hitting the black market in the medium to long term.

Getting weapons via Marseille by way of all the various conflict areas in north Africa likely was possible long before the ukraine war.
I've lived in Belgium and France and it was apparent that Europe was awash with serious military weaponry, especially after the war in Yugoslavia. fly by wire said:

k me that's awful. Hope the perpetrators and prisoner are swiftly caught. CoolHands said:
The bloke they freed just sounds like a pretty minor scrote, which is weird. Inside for burglary!
At least we only have sword fighting in London. Still, go soft on crime and that’s what we get.
Media outlets were claiming he was some drug boss. At least we only have sword fighting in London. Still, go soft on crime and that’s what we get.
Seeing the operation his backup were able to arrange i'd say he's a bit more than a "minor scrote".
From the BBC…
Prosecutors identified the inmate who was freed as Mohamed Amra, born in 1994. Amra was convicted of burglary on 10 May and had been indicted by prosecutors in Marseille for a kidnapping that led to a death.
The 30-year-old inmate is said to have ties to a gang in the southern city of Marseille, which has been plagued by drug-related gang violence.

It is mainland Europe, very easy to get those weapons, mostly from Eastern Europe. This happened in Kent a few years ago.TX.

Terrible events.
In the UK. we continue to underinvest, almost ignore our security. Both in police underinvestment or armed forces.
If you let organised crime rise there will be a tipping point we’re reining it back in is very difficult like South America.
We should have a special skill unit separate from police to tackle this seriously. The segregation from mainstream police is needed to minimise risk of corruption. It needs serious thinking.
I don’t feel as safe in the U.K. as I used too.
