AUTHORITIES arrested ten people, including eight Americans, after seizing high-powered weapons, ammunition and a substantial amount of cash on Tuesday.

Police said a joint team of officers from the Alice Town Police Station and the Bahamas Customs Department searched a vessel docked at a port in Bimini and found three high-powered weapons, eleven firearms, a substantial quantity of ammunition and a “considerable sum of undeclared cash,” according to a press release.

One South African and one Guyanese were among those taken into custody. The suspects’ ages ranged between 21 and 62.
