T
he Papua Police confiscated on Monday 16 airsoft guns of varying shapes and sizes from the cargo of a Garuda Indonesia airliner traveling from Jakarta to Jayapura at Sentani Airport in Jayapura, Papua.
Papua Police deputy chief Brig. Gen. Paulus Waterpauw said the guns had likely been sent to Merauke and Timika, both regencies in Papua, based on the receiver addresses listed on the packages.
'There is no sender's address on the package, but the address of the receiver is stated clearly and we will investigate it. After checking, it was found that the airsoft guns do not have complete documents,' Waterpauw said.
The airsoft guns were confiscated in an operation led by Sentani Airport Police (KP3) chief First Insp. Jubelina Wally and included airsoft versions of the Jericho 941, Goferne M 1911, Revolver, Glock 26 pistol, APS Caribe, Seklerko, and the WG riffle. The police have stored the airsoft guns at the KP3 office at Sentani Airport for further investigation. (ebf)
