A man, 34, has been arrested after firearms were discovered in a police raid in Greenock.
Two handguns and a small amount of cannabis was recovered from a property in Wren Road on May 14.
The alarm was raised after the UK Border Force intercepted a firearm while checking incoming mail.
The police investigation was aided by the National Crime Agency as part of the Organised Crime Partnership.

Detective Inspector Tom Gillan, of the Organised Crime Partnership, said: "Our investigation has resulted in firearms being removed from the local area and while it is not linked to the recent shooting in Greenock, I hope this police activity and partnership approach gives the local community some reassurance.
"Our work around these proactive investigations will continue across Scotland."
The 34-year-old will appear at Greenock Sheriff court at a later date.
