A 24-year-old man who was stopped as he arrived in the UK from France last week, has been charged with ten counts of possession of firearms.
Khalid Ahmed, of Ealing, west London, who is a dual Dutch and Irish national, will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court, where he will also face one charge of possession of prohibited ammunition.
He was stopped at Dover last Thursday by counter-terrorism police when he arrived in the UK from France, and when officers searched his car it is alleged that self-loading pistols were found.
He was charged with ten counts of possession of a prohibited weapon, and the ammunition count.
Commander Helen Flanagan, Head of Counter Terrorism Policing London, said: "We appreciate this news may be concerning to the public, but since this arrest took place, we have been carrying out a number of inquiries and to date, we have not identified any imminent threats to the public relating to this.
"Given the man has been charged, it is important there is no further speculation about the case while criminal proceedings are ongoing.
"But I can reassure the public that our investigation remains ongoing to ensure that the public is kept safe."
