During the early hours of this morning, a 57 year old female was arrested at her Orange Road residence in Vrygrond by members of Muizenberg police for being in possession of an unlicensed 9mm sub-machine gun and 47 rounds of ammunition. The members were led to the address by a tipoff which prompted the search operation.
