Kuala Lumpur, 6th January 2025 - Federal police have begun a nationwide crackdown on authentic-looking toy guns and rifles popularly known as ‘gel blasters’.
Bukit Aman is concerned that these fake firearms, which look almost identical to real ones, could be used to commit crimes.
The
Internal Security and Public Order Department's Wildlife Crime Bureau/Special Investigations and Intelligence (WCB/PSK), tasked with taking these ‘toys’ off the streets, got a big break last month with the arrests of three men and seizure of 637 imitation firearms following raids in Jalan Raja Laut here and in Kota Baru, Kelantan.
The nationwide raids had continued following investigations and intelligence-gathering by the authorities.
Federal Internal Security and Public Order Department Director, CP Dato' Sri Azmi Abu Kassim said three raids were carried out on Jan 2 and 4, which led to the seizure of 240 imitation firearms worth at least RM113,850.
