The investigation commenced on April 15, when a man presented himself at a local health center with a hand injury. This wound was consistent with those caused by a firearm.
Following police intervention and the injured man's initial excuses, he eventually admitted that the injury had occurred accidentally while he was handling a weapon.
The Pla d'Urgell - Garrigues Basic Police Area Investigation Unit took charge of the case. After interviewing the injured man, he agreed to hand over two weapons that, he stated, he had acquired from a person in the same municipality who was engaged in their artisanal manufacture.
Upon examining the weapons, officers confirmed that they were very rudimentary devices, capable of firing a single .22 mm caliber shot and completely lacking any safety mechanisms.
The first arrest took place last week and involved a 43-year-old man for weapons possession. Two days later, a second individual, aged 66, was detained, accused of manufacturing, selling, and possessing firearms.
