Seven Arrested in Lisbon for Illegal Weapons

According to a statement from the Lisbon Metropolitan Command of the PSP, the police were alerted to the incident by a tip-off from a concerned citizen. The suspects were reportedly at a café terrace when a verbal altercation ensued. During this confrontation, the witness noticed that the young men were in possession of firearms.
