The weapon found by police
THREE men have been arrested on suspicion of possessing a loaded gun shortly after visiting a Walthamstow massage parlour.
The three Turkish men, aged 20, 24, and 25, were spotted leaving the parlour late last night (Tuesday) before getting in to a car.
Police followed the car and firearms officers stopped it in Ferry Lane, near Tottenham Hale Tube station.
One of the passengers then threw a bag out of the window which was later found to contain a loaded weapon.
The firearm has been sent for forensic testing but is believed to be a Brocock snubnose revolver.
Two of the men were wearing bullet-proof vests.
They are being held at a west London police station.
