Police raids in Argentina seize rifles and other weapons in Cinco Saltos and Colón

In the city of Cinco Saltos, police from Comisaría 43 ° carried out a court‑authorized raid and vehicle search, confiscating a .22 caliber rifle linked to a case involving alleged qualified threats, resistance to authority and aggravated damage. The weapon was turned over to the judiciary for forensic examination.

In the Colón department, authorities conducted several preventive actions. A 45‑year‑old man voluntarily delivered a 9 mm Bersa pistol, which was formally seized for investigation. Separate raids linked to a gender‑based violence probe resulted in the seizure of an air‑compressed rifle, a .22 Ruger semi‑automatic carbine, a Smith & Wesson air pistol, ammunition and related accessories. Additional raids related to vandalism of the local courthouse yielded paint aerosol and other items. All seized materials remain in the custody of the justice system as investigations continue.
