Efforts to eradicate unlicensed firearms and ammunition from our communities yielded positive results when police members arrested a suspect for the possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition next to the railway station in 12 Avenue Belmont Park. The members saw a suspicious male crossing the railway line and after requesting permission to search him, they found a 9mm Norinco pistol with ammunition in his possession. The 23-year-old man was arrested and detained on a charge of possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In an unrelated matter members of the Western Cape Flying Squad arrested two suspects aged 22 and 29 for the possession of a prohibited firearm and an imitation firearm on a farm in Philippi after they received information about the suspects in the area.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The suspects who ran away from the farm in the direction of the police were stopped and searched and found in possession of a 38 special revolver and ammunition and an imitation firearm (shotgun).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Once charged, the suspects will appear in Blue Downs and Athlone Magistrate\u2019s courts respectively on Monday, 20 September 2021.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
