The investigation into the ammunition supply chain is part of broader efforts to dismantle pro-OPM Yalimo’s operations. The group has been involved in numerous criminal activities, including armed attacks and theft of police weapons. Authorities are determined to uncover the networks that enable such groups to access firearms and ammunition.

This case also underscores the challenges faced by law enforcement in Papua, where armed groups often operate in remote and difficult-to-access areas. The theft of police weapons by a former officer further complicates the situation, raising questions about internal security measures within the police force.

As the investigation continues, the Papua Police have assured the public that they are committed to ensuring accountability and preventing further incidents of weapon theft and illegal arms distribution. The case remains a top priority for law enforcement in the region. (Uki Ruknuddin)
