Six participants in the scheme were arrested in a profiled police intervention picked up by GDBOP against an illegal group that dealt with modification, repair, protection, trade and transportation of weapons, ammunition and explosive substances, without having the right and permission to do so. The action was carried out on the territory of Ruse, Silistra and Sofia regions on August 7 of this year.
The follow-up actions were carried out as necessary. Six addresses were searched, from which a Kalashnikov assault rifle, four revolvers, over 1,200 rounds of ammunition of a different diameter and an unregistered collection of obsolete weapons, a narcotic substance resembling marijuana, were confiscated. The materials were reported to the Sofia City Prosecutor's Office. Pre-trial production has been established.
Three of those arrested have been charged and their remand has been extended for a period of 72 hours. Work on the case continues.
