SAPS seize illegal firearms, ammo and stolen cars

Being in possession of stolen vehicles and unlicensed firearms and ammunition landed four men behind bars on Wednesday, last week.

“Sector police members were conducting patrols during the early morning hours on Voortrekker Road when they noticed a white Quantum minibus and a silver Toyota Yaris parked alongside the road,” said Brakpan police spokesperson Capt Pearl van Staad.

“Nothing was found during a search of the minibus, but the Yaris yielded one revolver with ammunition, a 9mm Norinco pistol and four AK47 rounds.”

Police discovered both vehicles were stolen – the Quantum from Wattville in Benoni and the Yaris from Evaton near Vereeniging.

“The suspects were arrested and detained at the Brakpan Police Station,” added van Staad.
