Ladysmith Tactical Response Team (TRT) members were out in full force on Friday morning (August 14) when they received information about a suspect in possession of an AK-47 rifle. The tip-off led them to the Nquthu area, where a man was found with an unlicensed firearm and 10 live rounds of ammunition.
The suspect was detained and will appear soon in the Nquthu Magistrate’s Court for a bail application.

“I am very happy about the way TRT and other SAPS unit members are getting good results. This includes the Ladysmith K9 Unit, Stock Theft Unit and FCS Unit, as well as detectives from the Uthukela District,” said Brigadier Batham. The brigadier continued that, “Uthukela District members have arrested a lot of criminals, including suspects who have committed rapes, robberies, assaults, house break-ins, hijackings, stock theft and other offences, and even those who are not complying with lockdown rules.”
