An AK-47 assault rifle was found by the carabinieri in the heart of the country, within an apparently abandoned area but located in the inhabited area. The war weapon, deadly and ready for use, was hidden in a simple but functional way, letting the hypothesis hypothesize an immediate use.
The operation was conducted by the soldiers of the local station with the support of the Eliportato Calabria Cacciator Squadron, a department specialized in raking activities in the most complex contexts of the province.
The kidnapping confirms the persistence of illegal arsenals related to organized crime, which continues to hide armaments in urban areas to guarantee the power of fire and intimidating capacity. This is not an isolated case: already last October, always in Marina di Gioiosa, another Kalashnikov had been intercepted together with numerous weapons, with the arrest of two people.
