On a recent evening in Upytės village, Panevėžys district, police conducted a partial inspection of a 'Ford Ranger' vehicle. During this inspection, they uncovered a telescopic baton, which was found in the vehicle of a 22-year-old man. The discovery of the baton, which was not in a case, raised suspicions and led to the identification of the individual as a suspect in the case of illegal possession of a weapon. The young man has been summoned by the Panevėžys County Police Department for questioning in connection with this finding. The authorities have initiated a preliminary investigation into the circumstances surrounding the baton and how it came to be found in the man's vehicle. The investigation will also explore whether the individual has any prior offenses or if this discovery could lead to broader criminal implications. This incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding the illegal possession of weapons, even non-lethal ones, in Lithuania. The presence of such items raises alarms about public safety and adherence to weapon regulations, emphasizing the role of law enforcement in monitoring and controlling weapon-related activities in the region.
