Transcarpathian law enforcers prevented the spread of weapons in the region
Police investigators during the search seized an entire arsenal of weapons from illegal circulation. The attacker, who was hiding the weapon, was detained in procedural order and placed in a temporary detention center.
The Transcarpathian police, together with the SBU staff and under the procedural guidance of the regional prosecutor's office, exposed the attacker, who is involved in the illegal circulation of weapons.
Law enforcement officers received information that the 31-year-old Uzhhorod can hide a whole arsenal of means of destruction. In the course of operational work, it was possible to find out that the defendant found an abandoned house on the territory of Beregovsky district, where he kept illegal weapons.
On September 15, with the strong support of KORD fighters, investigators of the Beregovsky district police department conducted a court-sanctioned search of the specified premises. At the scene of the incident, the defendant himself was detained. As a result, 38 RGD-5 grenades, one F-1 grenade, 12 unified shells of a hand grenade, 4 shots from VOG-25 grenade launchers, three jet anti-tank grenades, 1kg 200g of twill, 400g of plastid, 3 drilling tin blocks and 10 detonators were recovered from the illegal circulation.
The police opened criminal proceedings under Part 1 of Art. 263 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, i.e. illegal handling of weapons, ammunition and explosives.
During the pre-trial investigation, law enforcement officers will establish the source of weapons to the region and the actual purpose of their storage. The attacker is currently placed in a temporary detention facility. In the near future, he will be notified of the suspicion and a precautionary measure selected. Hazardous substances were seized by police explosives and sent to an expert for investigation. The investigation into the case continues.
