In their endeavours to protect the community against anti-law abiding citizens, Cape Town Central police members arrested four suspects for possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition on Thursday, 29 July 2021.
The members were busy conducting routine patrols on FW De Klerk Boulevard at about 12:00 when they noticed a Volkswagen Polo driving in the direction of the Central Business District. As the police approached the vehicle, the occupants acted suspicious, upon which the vehicle was pulled over. Upon searching the vehicle, a firearm and ammunition were found in the vehicle. The occupants aged between 23 and 35 were arrested and detained as no one could produce a valid licence to possess such a firearm. Once charged they are expected to appear in the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court on the mentioned charge.
