The weapons found so far in an arms cache at Marathonas on Wednesday have not been used in a terrorist or other criminal act, according to a ballistic examination.

The police found rockets, Kalashnikov rifles, ammunition and other heavy weaponry that is possibly linked to the terror suspect Giorgos Petrakakos, in addition to the nine vehicles found earlier.

Counter-terrorism squad officers examining the house have seen six cars, a truck and two motorcycles, as well as collections of weapons and ammunition, in the interior of the house and two very large basements.

Police said the Marathon hideout was leased a year earlier by someone using fake documents, while all evidence indicates that this person was a member of the so-called 'Distomo robbers' gang, of which the recently arrested terror suspect Giorgos Petrakakos was also a member.

The counter-terrorism squad was led to the hideout by following leads related to terrorist hits uncovered before Petrakakos' arrest.
