In a recent operation, the Civil Police of Minas Gerais seized 34 replica firearms resembling the Glock G-18 model in Monte Azul, located in Northern Minas Gerais. The items were discovered during a police inspection of a commercial establishment in the city center, following an anonymous report that signaled the sale of such replicas. These replicas closely mimic the actual firearm, having detailed features including a similar grip and firing modes that present a risk for potential criminal use.

The police emphasized the seriousness of the situation, indicating that these replicas could easily be mistaken for real firearms, potentially exacerbating criminal activities. The note from the police highlighted the importance of their removal from circulation, underlining that such items, if in the hands of ill-intentioned individuals, could facilitate crime and disturb public safety. The confiscation of these items is considered a crucial step in maintaining peace and order.

The police are currently conducting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the presence and sale of these replica firearms in the local business. The action undertaken by Officer Luciana Costa Moura and her team is seen as a proactive measure towards crime prevention and reinforce the commitment of law enforcement to address threats posed by illegal firearm replicas in the community.
