Firearm found near Korçë Stadium – Police launch investigation

A firearm has been found inside the fenced area of the former swimming pools near the stadium in the city of Korçë, raising concerns about public safety and the possibility of its connection to criminal activities. The discovery of the weapon, which turned out to be a Kalashnikov, occurred after a phone call to the police operations center.

According to official sources, the weapon was wrapped in a plastic bag and had been thrown inside the fenced area of the former swimming pools, a place frequently visited by children and young people who train nearby. It was precisely some small children who noticed the weapon and alerted the adults. After ensuring that it was indeed a suspicious object, the adults informed the police, who arrived immediately at the scene.

Law enforcement officers secured the area and began the necessary procedures to take possession of the weapon. Forensic experts have been engaged in analyzing the Kalashnikov to determine whether it has been used in any previous criminal incidents. The firearm will undergo ballistic examination, while investigations are focused on identifying the person who may have left it there.

Meanwhile, due to the sensitivity of the situation and the potential risk, authorities have taken measures to remove the teams of children who train near the stadium. Parents and coaches have been informed about the incident, while the police are cooperating with the community to ensure that the area is completely safe.

At the moment, investigators are considering several leads. One possibility is that the weapon was discarded there to be hidden after a previous crime or as an attempt to evade police controls. Additionally, authorities are reviewing security camera footage that could help identify individuals who may be connected to this firearm.

Residents of the area have expressed their concerns about the incident, calling for greater security in public spaces, especially in areas frequented by children. Many of them are surprised that a firearm could end up in such an open and potentially dangerous place for citizens.

On the other hand, the police have urged anyone who may have information about this case to assist in the investigation by contacting the authorities. With investigations still ongoing, further developments regarding this issue and the identity of the person who may have left the weapon in that location are expected in the coming days.
