A gold miner identified as MA, 21, was arrested on a beach in Nabire, Papua, for possessing an illegal firearm, a magazine and 12 bullets during a raid conducted by Papua Police on Friday at around 9:30 a.m. local time.
“We are still investigating how he [MA] got the weapon and the reason why he had the gun,” said Papua Police deputy chief Brig. Gen Paulus Waterpauw on Friday.
This is the second arrest after police nabbed two civilians, HE and AN, in Manokwari, West Papua, on Saturday. They were caught after making a weapon transaction.
“We found out about HE and AN after we received information from some residents. They were riding on their motorcycle when we nabbed them. We found a handgun and seven rounds of 38-caliber ammunition in the seat of their motorcycle,” said Papua Police spokesman Adj. Comr. I Gede Sumerta Jaya.
Both HE and AN confessed they received the gun from Ambon, Maluku.
Based on a series of investigations, Paulus added, many illegal firearms in Papua, including airsoft guns, were shipped from Ambon. Head of the Papua chapter of the Indonesian Shooting Association (Perbakin), John Banua Rouw, said there were around 500 unauthorized airsoft guns in the province.
