Eight sophisticated arms were recovered from smugglers by a team of Customs and Assam Riles from near Mizoram-Myanmar border river Tiau in Champhai district, Directorate of Revenue Intelligence officials today said.
The arms - two US-made M-16 rifles, two Germany-made G-3 rifles and four Myanmar-made MA3 assault rifles - were seized on Thursday, they said.
The arms smugglers, riding a bike, fled the spot when the team approached them.
