Police spokesperson, Sabata Mokgwabone, says upon receiving a tip-off, a search was conducted and three unlicensed 9mm pistols, a rifle, 38 rounds of ammunition and various stolen goods were found.

The accused have since been remanded in custody until Monday for their first appearance in the Brits Magistrate’s Court.

“Further investigations revealed that one of the firearms was reported stolen in Tsakane, Gauteng. Investigations into the matter continue. Lieutenant General Sello Kwena applauded all the members who participated in the operation for their rapid response and ensuring perpetrators are arrested”.

The men, aged between 23 and 34, are alleged well-known house breakers in the community.
