Law enforcement apprehends Bangi stall proprietor who brazenly marketed his firearms

People who sold fake guns called “gel blasters” were caught selling them to the public at their stand in Bandar Baru Bangi, even though they had been recently banned.

There was even a sign on the man’s wall that said the fake guns were for sale to anyone.

The 40-year-old seller had also set up a “shooting range” next to his shop. He let kids and adults play with toy guns for a small fee to get people to buy.

The federal police Internal Security and Public Order Department Wildlife Crime Bureau/Special Investigations and Intelligence (WCB/PSK) caught him and another seller in Little Bangi in a sting operation. This put an end to his plan.

The action was a part of a statewide campaign to stop the widespread sale of illegal firearms.

Police officers in plain clothes went up to the seller, who had a big following on TikTok, and told him they wanted to buy his goods.

The man told them the things were “just toy guns,” even though he knew it was against the law to sell them.

Once the police identified them, the seller claimed the items were for fun and denied guilt.

He said that his stock came from a supplier who was caught during the first round of raids last month.

The seller acknowledged knowing that the police were targeting fake guns when he spoke with them.

However, he stated that he needed to sell them in order to dispose of the ones he already owned.

His home was searched, and 105 fake guns were found, including one that looked a lot like the police Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine gun.

Customized rail attachments, scopes, tactical lights, laser designators, and grips were some of the extras that people could buy to make their “weapons” better.

He stated that the supplier purchased the items for three times their retail price.

We discovered fake guns, including G&G ARP9 air guns that resembled the M4 carbine and PDX assault rifle.

The man said he used to sell perfume but moved to toy guns a few months ago because they were so popular.

He said it would be simple to make RM300 to RM400 a day by selling the toys.
