Arrested in the Central American country were three men by police who, acting on a tip, found out the splinter cell was assembling gear for a robbery.
Taken into custody were Jose Enrique Tomas Lopez, 22, Walfre Rolando Perez Sandoval, 20, and Oscar Mirey Barillas, 18 with a faux granada and one wannabe pistola made from wood and string.
They could have passed for the hottest new boy band in Guatemala City. The thing is this look isn’t a good one for where they are going.
Regardless of the local report, the stick gun rather looks like a zip gun and was complete with a .22LR round, though it may have just been for show, and the rubber ball grenade looks pretty lifelike.
As noted in 2013, there are some 800,000-900,000 illegal guns in the country which has one of the highest murder rates in the world and a law adopted that April mandates that anyone detained on suspicion of major crimes, you know, like robbery, and carrying a unregistered gun or gun-like object will automatically go into pre-trial detention with court dates often several years in the future.
So these guys could be in for a bit.
