The resident, visibly upset by the noise and unsafe conditions, used a weapon-like device to get the teenager to stop. This reported Newsflash24.
The incident ended with the resident who threatened the young person with the blank gun leaving the scene after the crime. So the incident was cut short in a worrying way.

The resident is now being investigated for coercion and violation of gun laws Press portal reports.

This law regulates the acquisition and possession of firearms and introduces concepts such as reliability and necessity. The Weapons Act stipulates that the use of blank firearms is permitted in certain contexts, but users must adhere to strict requirements to ensure public safety as well Wikipedia informed.
