The incident occurred when a military police officer noticed that the teenager was smoking when he arrived at school. Faced with the situation, the sergeant searched the cadet’s backpack, where, in addition to the cigarette case, he found an imitation firearm imitating a real weapon.

In this regard, the young man was detained and taken to the civilian police station by the police garrison, where legal action was taken. The teenager’s parents were contacted and informed about the situation.

“The incident demonstrates the importance of the Safe School program, which aims to provide a safer educational environment for everyone. The presence of the military police in schools helps to stop criminal acts and prevent risky situations,” the police said.
