The police filed charges against seven persons aged 25, 21, 30, 21, 22, 58, and 49. A 21-year-old man had taken two hunting rifles from his grandfather, who legally possessed them, and removed their serial numbers. He offered them for sale to 21- and 30-year-old men; one rifle was subsequently offered to another 21-year-old man and later sold to a 22-year-old man. Following an agreement, a 58-year-old man stored the rifle in a house, where it was found and seized along with ammunition.
