MADRID, Spain (AP) - Three foreigners were arrested in Spain for allegedly removing sunken treasure illegally from underwater archaeological sites, including 17th-century cannon balls and ancient Roman stone anchors, police said yesterday.

The three suspects - two Hungarian men and an American woman - were heavily armed and used sophisticated equipment, including an underwater robot, sonar scanners and submarine metal detectors, to find their booty, said Colonel Antonio Dichas, head of the southwestern port of Cadiz's Civil Guard.
