Man lei polisie na wapens by woonstelblok
Skietgoed se wegsteekplek gevind
Die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens (SAPD) het ‘n vermeende bendeleier gearresteer en ‘n klein arsenaal, wat na bewering in sy besit gevind is, gekonfiskeer.
Lede van Operasie Lockdown Three het die 33-jarige verdagte in Ravensmead vasgetrek waar ‘n R5-geweer, ‘n haelgeweer, drie pistole, meer as 160 rondtes ammunisie en verskeie magasyne gekonfiskeer is.
Vier van die vyf onwettige vuurwapens se reeksnommers is afgevyl.
Die span het opgetree op grond van intelligensie oor die verdagte, wat na bewering die bende se vuurwapens beheer het, en na ‘n geïdentifiseerde adres gegaan. Die verdagte het hulle na ‘n woonstelblok in Ravensmead, waar die wapens en ammunisie versteek was, geneem.
Die verdagte sal binnekort in die Parow-landdroshof verskyn.
