Police in Philadelphia said Friday that officers had arrested two armed men near the Philadelphia Convention Centre, where ballots continue to be counted following the U.S. election on Tuesday.

The men were arrested after one of them confirmed he did not have a handgun permit and the other said he had a concealed-carry permit from Virginia that was not recognized in Pennsylvania, police said. Police later searched their hummer and found an AR-style rifle.

District Attorney Larry Krasner added Friday that his office has not finalized charges, but said they could “possibly” charge the men with a criminal offence under the election code.

He said there was no indication of a larger plot and said officials in the city had been “very successful” in preventing intimidation, coercion and voter suppression on election day. He also said officials were not aware of a “significant presence” of white supremacy or hate groups.
