In the early hours of 22 October 2021 members from Germiston Flying Squad and members from Springs Public Order Policing followed up on information about armed males in a guest house in Kensington, Johannesburg.
The members went to the address and were given permission to search the rooms. In one if the rooms, five men were found in possession of six unlicensed firearms.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspects had planned an armed robbery.
Swift response by police foiled this plan and five suspects and six firearms are now off the streets.
