Gas revolver with ammunition found in Klaipėda, illegal firearm in Kaunas
A gas revolver and ammunition were discovered in an uninhabited space in Klaipėda, and an illegal revolver was found in Kaunas during a woman’s cleanup of her deceased husband’s apartment.
In Klaipėda, a gas revolver model "Alfa Proj BRNO" along with three rounds of ammunition was found around 12:55 PM in an uninhabited space on Daržų street. The authorities confiscated the weapon and the ammunition, and initiated a pre-trial investigation due to illegal possession under Article 253, Part 1 of the Lithuanian Criminal Code.
Later that same day, around 7:30 PM in Kaunas, a 1986-born woman, while cleaning her late husband's apartment on Taikos Avenue, discovered another revolver, which was also being held illegally. The weapon was seized by the police, who are now working to clarify the circumstances surrounding this incident.
The discovery of these firearms raises concerns about illegal weapon possession in Lithuania. The ongoing investigations emphasize the importance of addressing gun control and unlawful ownership to ensure public safety and compliance with the law.
