The Madago Raya Operations Task Force of the Central Sulawesi Police (Sulteng) secured a number of dangerous items, in the form of SS1 firearm (senpi) magazine, ammunition, and air soft gun found by a resident in Poso Regency.

The Poso Pesisir Police Chief received the handover of a number of dangerous items from two different places in the form of SS1 firearms, ammunition, and air soft guns last Sunday.

Head of Madago Raya Police of Central Sulawesi Kombes Boy FS Samola said the dangerous goods were handed over voluntarily by residents after previously receiving an appeal from the police, especially the Madago Raya Operations Task Force.

On Friday, March 7 at around 10:15 WITA, a resident in Mapane Village found SS1 firearms and ammunition while digging the foundation of the building. The items were wrapped in plastic that was mixed with soil and rusty.

Furthermore, on Saturday, around 23.10 WITA, a resident of Lape Village, also handed over one air soft gun, three SS1 gun magazens, and 61 5.56 mm caliber ammunition.

Residents have found these items in a garden hut in the Ratubungku area in 2017 and stored for concerns over the armed group that was still active at the time.

"On these findings, based on a massive appeal made by personnel from the Madago Raya Task Force, residents immediately reported to Aipda Muh Syahrir as Babinkamtibmas who then submitted the evidence to the Poso Pesisir Police Chief," he said in a statement received in Palu, Antara, Monday, March 10.

The entire dangerous items that were secured included four SS1 firearms, 80 5.56 mm caliber ammunition, one 38 mm caliber revolver ammunition, one short-barreled air soft gun, and 13 round bullets along with gas cylinders.

He expressed his appreciation to residents who are fully aware of handing over dangerous items to the police. This step shows public trust and support for the efforts of the police in maintaining a conducive situation in the operating area, especially Poso Regency.

To all people who still have or find firearms, ammunition, or other dangerous materials, they are advised to immediately hand over to the authorities or local police.

The Madago Raya operation is a security maintenance operation with deradicalization and counterterrorism activities that prioritizes preemptive and preventive efforts to prevent and prevent the spread of radical and terrorist ideas.
