POLICE on the Costa del Sol have arrested seven people and seized a haul of weapons and ammunition after two recent shootings between rival families.
More than 50 officers from the Malaga branch of the Policia Nacional took part in a co-ordinated raid on two separate properties in Marbella this morning.
They found two real handguns, ammunition, fake weapons, large wads of cash and a clown mask.
The investigation relates to two shootings on December 2 last year and January 3 in the Costa del Sol municipality, although no gunshot injuries were reported at the time.
Seven people have been arrested in connection with the gunfire, including the alleged perpetrators.
According to police, the shootings stemmed from disagreements between the families over romantic relationships – with comparisons made to the feuding rivalry between the Montague and Capulet noble houses in Romeo and Juliet.
