A man was detained in the Krasnoyarsk Region after a significant cache of weapons was discovered in his residence. The incident was reported by Life with a reference from Shot.
The operation occurred in Chulkovo Village when law enforcement officers arrived at the home of a 41-year-old local resident and recovered multiple unregistered firearms. Among the seized items were a cold-bore AK-103 rifle, an IZH-43 smoothbore shotgun, and several other weapons. In addition, nearly 300 different cartridges of various calibers were found in the house, indicating a substantial stock of ammunition.
During questioning, the suspect claimed that some of the weapons were kept for protection against wildlife and asserted that a portion of the arms had been obtained from a relative. Authorities are examining these statements as part of the ongoing investigation, while verifying the provenance and necessity behind the possession of such equipment.
The individual faces legal consequences under laws governing illegal arms acquisition, with the potential for a prison sentence if convicted. Records indicate the suspect has a prior conviction related to the unlawful extraction of biological resources, which may influence the current case and related sentencing considerations.
