Pakistani criminals are using the latest weapons in street crimes and targeted killings in the last three months, media reports said.

Investigation sources told ARY News that in the key crime incidents in recent months, shells of bullets from the arms used in crimes, were not matching with the weapons used in previous offences.

The network involved in arms smuggling and providing weapons on rent has been still active, investigation sources told the newspaper.

The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) as well as Police have failed to complete their investigations of the street crimes and targeted killings committed in recent days.

According to investigation sources, federal investigation agencies were themselves inquiring into targeted killings.

“They have detained various suspects from different areas,” sources told the newspaper.
