Title Cada mes: PNC decomisa unas 200 armas
The National Police (PNC) confiscated approximately 50 firearms every week in the metropolitan area, which are then transferred to the Department for Arms Control and Munitions (Decam). The number of weapons confiscated each week has remained approximately the same since these disarmament operations started. The amount of ammunition confiscated this week was 261 units. The arms are confiscated from individuals that either do not have a license or that are caught committing delinquent acts. Among the confiscated weapons are pistols, shotguns, rifles and fragmentation grenades.
