The Durban Public Order Police Project Team as well as other units embarked in an operation in Durban on 19 June 2019, at 15:30, about the suspect who was in possession of a firearm.
The team went to one of the flats at St Andrews Street in Durban where a search was conducted. A 9mm pistol with eleven rounds of ammunition was found from the suspect. A further search was conducted and a police uniform, car jamming device and counterfeit notes to the amount of R6 100-00 was also recovered from the suspect.
The preliminary investigation was conducted at the scene and it revealed that the firearm was robbed from a police official in 2016 in the Durban Central.
A 36 year old suspect was then placed under arrest on charges of possession of a firearm without a license, possession of police uniform, possession of car jamming device and possession of counterfeit money.
He is expected to appear in the Durban Magistrates’ Court on 21 June 2019.
