According to a first report on the implementation of the measure, 611 powerful weapons and 116 revolvers were recovered, including high-power automatic rifles and even some grenades.

Each type of weapon surrendered has a set price, with agents giving vouchers for electrical appliances and other goods in exchange.

To facilitate the operation, owners can telephone their desire to hand in their weapons and security agents then accompany them from home to the established exchange points.
