During the raid, authorities recovered a significant arsenal of weapons, including 14 firearms of various types. The items seized were shared widely on social media and included: 2 AK-47 rifles, 8 pump-action shotguns, 4 homemade pistols, 3 packs of cartridges (totaling 101 rounds), 4 AK-47 rifle magazines, 3 machetes, 1 Baofeng radio, 1 motorcycle, and various charms.
