On Monday, during an operation at a bar, Local Police officers from Santa Cruz overpowered and arrested a violent man carrying a firearm and seized the weapon. The suspect's legal representative called the police after finding that he had a gun in his pocket during a meeting in a bar. The man, 76-year-old J.A.A. was aggressive and appeared to be willing to use the gun against several people with whom he was involved in various legal disputes. The Local Police entered the premises with extreme caution to avoid endangering themselves or those present. They managed to convince the suspect to hand over the weapon which was an Astra 9000 nine millimetre pistol with a short barrel. It was wrapped in a cloth and not secured. The magazine was loaded with five cartridges.
