On 24 November 1993, following a tip off from [[MI6]], UK [[customs officers]] raided the MV Inowroclaw [[cargo ship]] while it was docked at [[Teesport]] and discovered a UVF weapons and explosives shipment hidden amongst a load of [[ceramic tiles]]. The shipment, which was described the as the biggest illegal arms seizure on British soil, contained 300 [[AKM]] rifles with thousands of rounds of ammunition, dozens of 9mm pistols, hundreds of [[hand grenades]], over two [[metric tons]] of [[plastic explosives]] and thousands of [[detonators]]. The ship had originated in the [[Baltic Sea]] port of [[Gdynia]], and Polish authorities had warned British intelligence agencies in advance of its arrival in England.<ref>{{Cite news |date=25 November 1993|url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12710021.massive-uvf-arms-supply-is-found-on-polish-vessel/|title=Massive UVF arms supply is found on Polish vessel|newspaper=[[The Herald Scotland]] |access-date=5 November 2024}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=25 November 1993|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1993/11/25/world/ulster-arms-smuggling-plot.html|title=Ulster Arms Smuggling Plot|newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |access-date=5 November 2024}}</ref>
