Taiwanese authorities have broken up an illegal weapons stash in Chiayi County, a win for police cracking down on gun crime.

• A man surnamed Wu was caught with a modified handgun, gun parts, 128 bullets, and 17 dum-dum rounds.
• He wrapped the weapons in plastic wrap and waterproof bags and buried them in flower pots to hide them.
• The Coast Guard's Chiayi investigation team and local police worked the case together after a tip about an illegal group holding guns.
• The bust happened in March, and the case has now been handed to prosecutors.

Outlook: The case is moving through the courts, and authorities are pushing the public to report smuggling and illegal weapons.
