Three suspects believed to be from KwaMashu Hostel were arrested after being found in possession of three unlicensed firearms and ammunition.
They were arrested on 7 January 2018, by the police after they followed up information about a planned robbery at one of the business premises at Inanda.
The suspects were intercepted before they commit the robbery. They are due to appear today in the Ntuzuma Magistrates’ Court.
The KwaZulu-Natal Acting Provincial Commissioner, Major General Bheki Langa commended the members for the arrest and the recovery of unlicensed firearms.
“Our members are still conducting the Safer Festive Season Operations in the province and we already achieved good successes since the start of Safer Festive Season operations. The police are on the alert and conducting various operations to ensure that criminals are brought to book. Arrested suspects are being profiled and see if they are not linked to any other trio crimes in the province,” he said.
