PETALING JAYA : Police arrested three foreigners and seized hundreds of fake firearms in a raid on a terrace house in Segambut, Kuala Lumpur, this afternoon.
Bukit Aman internal security and public order department (wildlife crime bureau/special investigation intelligence) deputy director Zairulnizam Zainuddin said they included Walther P99 pistols, M4 Carbines and Colt AR-15s, Bernama reported.
Police also seized fake Heckler and Koch MP5 rifles, CZ, Glock 17, Sand Viper and Browning pistols.
Ball-bearing crossbows and spear guns were also seized.
The fake firearms were stored at the house for repackaging before being sold openly on social media platforms.
Zairulnizam said they were looking into the market prices and the actual quantity of fake firearms seized today.
The three suspects detained, aged 35 to 45, included a woman.
Several other locations in Selangor and Johor were also raided.
Zairulnizam advised social media administrators to monitor sales activities on their platforms.
He said police would urge the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to take stern action if sales of such banned items are found on social media.
