In Alicante, Spain, National Police arrested five individuals following a residential burglary in July. The suspects stole a 200-kilogram gun safe containing a competition pistol and €2,000 in cash. The investigation was aided when one suspect fractured a toe after the heavy safe fell on his foot, leading him to seek hospital treatment which allowed police to identify him.

In Montevideo, Uruguay, police conducted eight raids in the Cruz de Carrasco neighborhood, resulting in the arrest of five members of a family clan. The operation, part of an investigation into gunfire in the area, led to the seizure of three Glock 17 pistols, five magazines, and 116 rounds of ammunition. One of the seized weapons had been reported stolen from a police officer.
