PAPUA - Members of the General Criminal Directorate of the Papua Police confiscated three firearms and five magazines of their ammunition in the Sentani area, Jayapura Regency, Papua.

"It is true that someone was arrested along with three rifles at around 10:00 WIT," said Director of the General Criminal Investigation of the Papua Police, Kombes Faisal Rahmadani, in Jayapura, Antara, Friday, August 3.

Armed attacks are often carried out by armed groups against state instruments in Papua. Locations that become a battlefield for officers with armed groups are for example in Ilaga District, Puncak Regency, Papua.

On August 9, officers confiscated 15 firearms from Fernando Worabai's armed group in Yapen Islands Regency, Papua.

Worabai is a new group of armed groups that often disrupt security in Papua.

In the early hours of Sunday, August 16, this group opened fire at the Nemangkawi Operations Task Force personnel. At that time, two members of the armed group were shot by joint TNI-police personnel.

Two of their members died on the spot and one fled injured. After a shootout occurred, the Task Force found that they had individual manufacturer's weapons, including the AK-47 and M-16.
