On July 12, at approximately 00:38, the Telšių County Police Department responded to an incident in Sedo involving a man. Authorities discovered the man inside his home basement, reportedly under the influence of alcohol, and found him in possession of a long-barreled firearm. The police determined that the man did not possess the necessary permit to legally keep the firearm.
Consequently, the suspect was taken into custody and transported to the local police station. The incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding unauthorized weaponry possession in the region. Separately, related reports detail another instance where authorities in the Vilnius region were involved in an investigation.
In Šilutė, a 50-year-old man was disarmed, and various items, including artillery ammunition and parts of a firearm, were taken from his residence. The Lithuanian criminal code addresses the seriousness of such offenses. It stipulates that any individual who does not hold a permit to produce, acquire, keep, wear, carry, send, use, or sell a firearm, ammunition, explosives, or explosive materials is considered guilty under the law.
These recent events underscore the police department’s ongoing efforts to secure the community by confiscating unauthorized weapons and ensuring adherence to national firearms regulations.
