Police in Texas say they have seized a cache of weapons allegedly being smuggled to drug gangs in Mexico.



The haul, in Laredo on the US-Mexico border, included assault rifles and thousands of rounds of ammunition.



The Texas police reportedly acted on a tip-off and stopped a truck.



Inside, they found 147 assault rifles, 53 bayonets and more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition.



Police say it’s one of the largest weapons shipments found in recent years.



So far two men have been arrested.
