Men Arrested for Guns at AFL Match

During an Australian Football League match between Carlton and Collingwood at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), two men, Omar Salam and Mohamad Noori, were arrested for allegedly carrying loaded firearms. Despite the venue's upgraded AI security systems, the weapons went undetected as they were hidden in the men's pants. The incident, which did not result in any injuries, led to increased police presence and raised concerns about security protocols at large events. Both men have been charged with multiple firearm-related offenses and are set to appear in court. The Melbourne Cricket Club's chief executive has expressed disappointment over the security breach and indicated plans to enhance security measures further. This major security lapse has prompted discussions on the effectiveness of new security technologies in public venues.
