Raids on a Bedfordshire farmhouse and a Middlesex bakery uncovered submachine guns, rifles, ammunition, and counterfeit-minting gear. Detentions of British businessmen linked to overseas trips planned. Interpol alerted as authorities report over $2.2 million in London bullion stolen in three years with little recovered.
