Firearms discovered in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski
During a night operation in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, police made significant findings related to the investigation into the Kraków massacre. According to wiadomosci.wp.pl, officers found seven firearms in the flat of a 24-year-old suspected of committing the crime.
Kamil Tokarski, spokesperson for the Provincial Police Commander in Kielce, informed about the results of the search: both the 24-year-old and his father held legal permits for firearms. Officers secured the weapons and will verify to whom exactly the permits for each of the found specimens were issued.
Operational activities were not limited to the flat itself. Police issued search warrants for private premises belonging to the suspect's close associates, including garages and cellars of the suspect's colleagues and family. Tokarski explained that these were places where the man could have appeared or hidden additional firearms and ammunition.
The expansion of operations was dictated by security considerations. Due to the possibility of firearms being present in the flat before officers entered, a counter-terrorism unit of the police was used. Additional security measures were also applied to the residents of the entire building block.
The spokesperson emphasised that the investigation includes verification of all documentation related to the issued firearms permits. The search aims to establish whether the discovered specimens correspond to permits issued by the appropriate authorities.
At the conclusion of the briefing, Tokarski urged against spreading unverified information circulating on the internet and called for respect for the privacy of victims and witnesses. Police assured that all information appearing in the media is verified as part of the ongoing investigation.
