EMPD Drug Enforcement Unit members came across a loaded unlicensed firearm while searching a house in Corona Street, Eden Park.
The search took place on Wednesday, July 25, during an early morning drug operation. A woman in the house was arrested at 7.16am.
The 37-year-old woman was arrested for the possession of .38 revolver with live rounds. Preliminary investigations pointed to the firearm having been stolen in the Vaal area in January 2014, with a Barrage SAPS case number.
The arrested suspect was expected to face charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition on Friday, July 29, in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court.
