Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Mozambican Police (PRM) has arrested a 52 year-old man for allegedly being in possession of a 12-gauge shotgun, 34 rounds of ammunition, two hunting guns and bayonets.<\/p>\n

According to PRM spokesperson, Marta Pereira, the man was detained in the Maputo neighbourhood of Chamanculo neighbourhood, and he used to hire the firearms out to other criminals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe arrestee is member of a gang dedicated to hiring firearms\u201d, she said. \u201cThe detention is result of an investigation carried out by the police, in which a second individual involved in the case was also detained\u201d.<\/p>\n

The arrestee, in his turn, claimed that he inherited his arsenal from his uncle five years ago. His uncle had supposedly used the guns for hunting.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy uncle gave me the firearms before he died. I only showed them to my cousin\u201d, said the suspect, who was not named. \u201cThe goal was to use the, to shoot ducks and rabbits\u201d.<\/p>\n

He acknowledge that his detention is fair since he does not have any legal documentation for the weapons.<\/p>\n
