Weapons at work in Malaga

A Malaga man has been detained for the possession of weapons and ammunition at his workplace.

The man asked his boss if he could use store room and then hid pistols and ammunition in a box.

In a conjoint operation the national and local police have detained a man, 32, for the presumed crime of illegal possession of weapons; a bow, two pistols and ammunition were found in his workplace.

Operation “Boruja”, dedicated to the location of illegal weapons, received information that several weapons were being hidden at a transport logistics centre in Malaga; given the size of the warehouse eight agents were needed to search the premises.

Agents identified a man, employed in the fruit section, as the culprit after his boss admitted that he had asked him to keep some things at work saying that he had no room at his home.

In collaboration with the Guardia Civil the agents ascertained that the man had no license for the weapons and, as such, he was arrested.

The Guardia Civil had arrested the man on a previous occasion for exactly the same crime when they found him driving around in Alhaurin de la Torre with a flare gun in his car.
