Sandton police arrested two suspects on Friday during stop-and-search operations in Bryanston.
The officers stopped a blue Audi and searched it. Sandton police spokesperson Constable David Mothapo said, “Two firearms were recovered from the car, a Norinco with 25 rounds and a .35 with six rounds. The serial numbers on both firearms were filed off.”
Mothapo said the Audi had a second number plate in the boot. “Upon investigation, it was found that the vehicle was hijacked in Florida in November last year.”
