House with hundreds of fake guns raided in Segambut
KUALA LUMPUR: A cache of imitation firearms was seized following a raid on a terrace house in Segambut on Monday (June 30). Bukit Aman Internal Security and Public Order Department deputy director (Wildlife Crime Bureau/Special Intelligence Investigation) Senior Asst Comm Zairulnizam Mohd Zainuddin @ Hilmi said some of the fake weapons closely resembled actual firearms used by police. "Among the seized items were replicas of the Walther P99 pistol, M4 Carbine rifle and Colt AR-15. "We also seized a ball-bearing crossbow and a spear gun. These imitation firearms, if misused, could cause serious injury,' he told reporters at the scene. Three foreigners, including a woman in her 30s believed to be the caretaker of the premises, were arrested during the operation, he said. "The imitation firearms were believed to have been stored at the house for repackaging before being sold openly on social media platforms. "The prices of these weapons vary depending on quality and type. "We are still gathering data on their selling prices and the total quantity involved,' SAC Zairulnizam added. He said police have obtained a list of names and addresses of those who bought the fake weapons. "We urge them to come forward and dispose of fake weapons," he added SAC Zairulnizam also reminded social media platform providers to monitor the sale of illegal items on their respective sites and cooperate with the authorities. "If the situation persists, we will seek the assistance of the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to take much sterner action," he said. Several other raids were also conducted in Selangor and Johor, he added.
