Based on information, police teams were dispatched with metal detectors to scout the ground at Dorengkigre village, a well known GNLA stronghold.
The search teams found 21 pistols, magazines, two walkie-talkie sets, a handful of lethal arrow heads, and GNLA seals and documents.
This is the second recovery in less than a week in East Garo Hills region.
