The men of the Provincial Police proceeded to denounce the two poachers on the loose according to the legislation governing the possession and use of weapons and ammunition as well as sanctioned for the violation of the legislation on the protection of wildlife; in addition, the rifles and ammunition found in their possession were also confiscated.
