A woman walking in the woods near the Boathouse at Fletcher’s Cove on Wednesday found a violin case containing at least one firearm, and police said they discovered other weapons strewn along the C&O Canal.

At least a dozen police officers descended on the area near the boathouse late Wednesday morning. Authorities called in an explosive ordnance disposal unit, or bomb squad, to help with the search as additional weapons were found.

“At this point, we don’t know how they got there, why they’re here or when they got here,” said Sgt. Anna Rose, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Park Police, which has jurisdiction over the area that runs along the Potomac River.

Throwing a weapon into the river is the classic way to get rid of it after committing a crime. Have there been any... crimes reported in DC in the last few weeks? /s
