According to Muldersdrift SAPS communications officer, Warrant Officer Hitler Ngwenya, the man was arrested during a joint operation by police officers from throughout the cluster.
“Police received a tip-off from an informant and investigated,” says Ngwenya.
“This led us to a farm in Randfontein, where a raid was carried out on 16 October between 9 and 10am, and the firearms were discovered.
Ngwenya says that the firearms include pistols and other firearms, but he would not divulge further information at this stage.
