During the raids, police recovered modern rifles, pistols, and ammunition, raising concerns about illegal arms possession and the promotion of violence.
“The public display of weapons encourages violence and threatens public safety,” a CCD spokesperson said. “Strict action will be taken against those involved.”
All suspects have been formally charged, and investigations are ongoing to trace the origin of the weapons and possible links to criminal activities.
Authorities also urged citizens to report similar online content, warning that stern legal action awaits anyone using social media to glorify firearms.
