The Carabinieri of the Lercara Friddi Company have arrested two men from Palermo, aged 71 and 58, already known to the police, accused of illegal possession of clandestine weapons and objects capable of causing offence.
The military personnel of the Radiomobile Section during a traffic control on the SS 189, in Lercara Friddi, stopped a car with the two suspects on board finding them in possession of an illegal weapon, specifically a home-made shotgun and 24 12-gauge cartridges, as well as 4 knives, hidden in the trunk of the vehicle under some fruit crates.
In particular, the hand-made rifle It was made up of three hydraulic tubes, one with the trigger mechanism inside, and two interchangeable tubes of different lengths constituting the barrel, so as to have the possibility of using a more or less long barrel depending on the use.
The weapon which is to be considered clandestine according to the current legislation is to be considered particularly offensive as well as extremely dangerous also for the user.
What was found was seized and the rifle will be sent to the Ballistics Laboratory to be subjected to the test bench in order to evaluate its power and actual suitability for shooting.
The Preliminary Investigations Judge of the Court of Termini Imerese has validated the arrests.
