French prosecutors say that police, acting on a tip from the Spanish authorities, discovered a large cache of arms and explosives in a small village on France's Mediterranean coast on Thursday.

A police spokesperson said the weapons, found just outside a village in the Mediterranean Herault Department in southern France on Thursday belonged to the Basque separatist organisation ETA.
 

On Wednesday, police arrested three suspected ETA members in the Alpine resort of Villarembert-le-Corbier and seized handguns, detonators, fake numberplates and forged identification papers. One of the three men arrested is suspected of involvement in a car bombing on the island of Mallorca that killed two Spanish civil guard members earlier this month.
 

Police found a second arms cache in the French Pyrenees as well. Today's discovery along with Wednesday's make up the largest weapons find in France since 2002.
