Efforts to eradicate illegal firearms from the streets yielded positive results on Thursday 28 April 2022, when members of Woodstock police followed up information about a suspect that is sought for an attempted murder case.
The investigation led them to an address in Fan Lodge, Milnerton, where the suspect was found.
The premises was searched and a 9mm pistol with no serial number and ammunition were confiscated. A 27 year old male was arrested on a charge of possession of a prohibited firearm and ammunition and attempted murder.
The suspect will make his court appearance in the Cape Town Magistrates court once he has been charged.
Meanwhile our detectives were hard at work this week to ensure that suspects on the wrong side of the law were brought to book. A total 467 wanted suspects were arrested on charges ranging from murder, attempted murder, sexual offences, domestic violence, assault, possession of firearms and drugs, robbery and burglary.
The Western Cape police management thanked the members for their hard work and dedication in making the province safer for all its inhabitants.
