Swedish yacht crew arrested after guns and ammo found onboard

The crew of a Swedish yacht, moored in the Azorean island of Faial, has been arrested after judicial police discovered a shotgun, automatic rifle and various munitions on board. The yacht only recently arrived at the island, and it is still not clear what prompted police to search it. The crew of three includes an IT programmer who has apparently told the authorities that the guns belong to him.
