Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Mozambican criminal investigation police have arrested two soldiers who were allegedly renting for crimes an AK-47 assault rifle stolen from the defence and security forces, the corporation announced.<\/p>\n

The arrest was made when the two soldiers, aged 23 and 28, were preparing to sell the weapon last Friday, explained the spokesman for the National Criminal Investigation Service (SERNIC), Hil\u00e1rio Lole, cited by daily newspaper Not\u00edcias.<\/p>\n

The police will seek to ascertain what crimes were committed with the weapon, he added.<\/p>\n

According to the detainees, the AK 47 was stolen from the Defence and Security Forces in March 2020 after a graduation ceremony in Munguine\u2019s Basic Military Training Centre, in Manhi\u00e7a district, Maputo province.<\/p>\n

Since then, they kept it hidden in the house of one of them, until on Friday they were going to sell it for 500,000 meticais (about 7,831US dollars or 6,930 euros), they said.<\/p>\n

The buyer was a member of the special forces, the brother-in-law of one of the detained soldiers, and intended to use the weapon in the Ch\u00f3kwe area of Gaza province in the south of the country, they told SERNIC.<\/p>\n
