Uzis recovered

The National Police have announced they have recovered the military equipment that was stolen from vehicles in the parking lot of the Hotel Hispaniola last week. In the heist that targeted several vehicles belonging to politicians, Senator Julio C?sar Matias of Mao lost two Uzi machine guns assigned to his personnel. The police did not say, however, to whom a third recovered Uzi belonged. Law 36 regarding arms possession specifies the weapons that civilians are not allowed to possess, but the paragraphs which refer to judges, legislators and certain other officials does not limit the weapons they are entitled to use.
