Their swift action led to the recovery of an AK-47 rifle with 19 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition and an Uzi submachine gun loaded with 40 rounds of 9mm ammunition.
The results of the operation were formally shared at a press conference held this morning at the RSVGPF’s Police Conference Room, where the force emphasized the importance of ongoing efforts to remove illegal weapons from the nation’s streets.
