PUTRAJAYA: The police have detained three men for allegedly using imitation firearms without a permit at separate paintball game outlets during the Putrajaya Hot Air Balloon Fiesta here on Sunday.
Putrajaya police chief ACP Abdul Razak Abdul Majid said two men, aged 20 and 21 were nabbed in the first raid at a paintball game arena about 3pm. “Upon inspection, both men did not have a permit and licence to hold paintball games.
