The Primrose Police recently arrested a suspect, aged 64, for possession of an unlicensed firearm.
“Our members were patrolling when they received a complaint of domestic violence in Almond Street,” said the communications officer of the Primrose SAPS, Sgt Styles Maome.
The police then investigated the matter and, upon their arrival at the scene, were informed that the suspect had a firearm.
