That's Pretty Smart Actually. How Did They Get Caught?

 
An inspection revealed that dozens of FN FAL battle rifles destined for the Paraguayan police armory had been stolen and replaced with toy guns.

The country’s military first became aware of the issue when the weapons started showing up on the black market a year ago, fetching prices of up to $10,000. Others are believed to have been smuggled into Brazil and Argentina.

Investigators discovered that all the rifles should have been in the police armory of the city of Capiata. They were regularly put in storage, as they were being replaced with newer models. An examination revealed that 42 guns had been swapped with replicas made out of wood and plastic.[4] No arrests related to the theft have been made so far.
