A day after armed cadres of the militant outfit Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP) looted several arms and a large quantity of ammunition from an outpost of the Manipur Rifles in the state's Thoubal district, the police personnel recovered most of the arms and ammunition and also arrested an extremist, an official said on Sunday. 

A police officer said that on Saturday night, around 30 armed cadres of the suspected KCP equipped with sophisticated weapons, breached the security layers at one police outpost at Kakmayai in Thoubal District and overpowered the police personnel deployed at the post.
