Weapons in the yard • Improvised weapon "Carlo"

On Tuesday 7/8/20, the police arrested a Dalit resident of Carmel on suspicion of possessing a drug

"Carlo" - the weapon of the underworld

The Carlo weapon is an illegal weapon, of local-underground production, which is not numbered with a serial number and of course does not have a license. The uniqueness of this weapon is that it is used by the underworld to carry out assassinations with weapons that are difficult to identify (not numbered). This weapon is also used, from time to time, by the terrorists from the terrorist organizations operating in the territories, in carrying out attacks against Israelis. It fires short ammunition and its firepower is considered medium to low. The eliminations using the carlo are done, for the most part, from very short ranges and due to its low power, some of the elimination attempts end only in injury.
Such a weapon was found last night, by the Israel Police, as part of a proactive enforcement activity in the area.

The suspect is 30 years old

As part of the targeted enforcement of the Israel Police in the field of illegal weapons, for the sake of public peace, the Carmel Ridge police and the Haifa station police conducted a proactive operation in Dalit El Carmel, in which they seized a Carlo-type weapon and ammunition in the yard of the house and arrested the owner of the apartment, 30 years old, on suspicion of possessing them.

Tested in a forensics lab

The weapon was transferred to the forensic laboratories of the Israel Police for further evidence extraction, and the unit intends to request an extension of the suspect's detention at the Haifa Magistrate's Court this morning.

Illegal weapons

This activity joins a long series of high-quality achievements in the field of weapons seizures with the aim of reducing the accessibility of weapons in the hands of criminal and other elements, which is led by the police for the sake of public peace and security, when since the beginning of the year the police in the Coastal district have uncovered over 500 weapons and arrested over 150 suspects for offenses AMLAH, along with filing dozens of indictments for shooting and possession offenses.
