SPANISH authorities have discovered a major arsenal linked to the Kinahan cartel but are baffled as to why the gang abandoned it. 

The haul, described as one of the biggest ever found on the Costa del Sol, was found in an apartment where it had been discarded and left unguarded for more than six months.

It was seized in May last year when the organised crime unit of the National Police raided the property in a housing estate in Estepona following a tip-off.
