The Springs police followed up on information they received about a man in possession of an unlicensed firearm and went to investigate.
Capt Johannes Ramphora, Springs police spokesman, says when they arrived, they searched the house and recovered a CZ 75 rifle with seven live rounds, a shotgun and a 9mm pouch.
“We arrested the man and took him to the Springs police cells,” says Ramphora.
He was not charged but will remain in the cells until his first court appearance on Wednesday.
