Kuala Lumpur, 27th December 2024 - The police are gathering intelligence on the distribution and sale of imitation weapons such as 'gel blasters'.
Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Razarudin Husain warned that possessing these items was an offence.
“The
Wildlife Crime Bureau/Special Investigation and Intelligence Unit will work on gathering intelligence on these activities.
