Warsaw police seize stolen land mines after stopping suspicious vehicle

Police in Warsaw yesterday confiscated 20 anti-personnel land mines found in a van. At around 2:30 p.m. a special police patrol stopped two young men in a Ford Transit van. "The people in the vehicle were nervously looking in the direction of the passing police car. So they were stopped and their vehicle searched. After the police found the mines they blocked the traffic for safety reasons. The mines had been stolen," said Adam Jasienski, spokesman for the police press office. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 3) P.W.
