Moments of tension in a school in the Sassari area, where in recent days a minor student showed up in class with a toy gun without the red cap required by law, making it indistinguishable from a real firearm. The episode caused great concern among teachers, who immediately alerted the police.

The military of the Ozieri Company, arriving on the scene, confirmed the presence of the toy gun in the hands of the young man . The gun, although fake, had been tampered with to remove the colored occlusion of the barrel, an element that serves to signal its harmlessness. This detail triggered the immediate seizure of the object.

After the intervention of the Carabinieri, the boy was entrusted to his parents and reported at liberty to the Juvenile Court of Sassari .

The Carabinieri take this opportunity to reiterate the importance of awareness-raising activities aimed at young people on the improper use of potentially offensive objects, such as tampered toy weapons or switchblades. And it also reminds that, starting from the age of 14, behaviors of this type can constitute crimes punishable by law, even if committed superficially or for fun.
