Two people arrested on weapons charges near Disneyland Paris - from TRUNEWS

(TRUNEWS) Two people have been arrested for an incident near Disneyland Paris.

A man tried to enter Hotel New York with two guns and ammunition in his suitcase. He also had a book about the Koran. Hotel security found the items after his baggage triggered metal detectors, according to the BBC.

He surrendered without incident and told law enforcement he was carrying the weapons out of fears for his safety.

A room had been booked for two people. Police found his female companion at her home,  and took her into custody. It is believed she fled the scene when the man was detained.

The man has not been named, but police claim he is a French national.  They also towed his car.

ISIS and al-Qaeda have threatened the theme park in the past. Earlier this week, Europol warned of possible attacks on France, and specifically cautioned about possible hits on soft targets.

Officials in the U.S. also have concerns about possible terrorist plans to ambush Disney parks in the U.S., as reported by TRUNEWS.
