On Friday 5 July 2019, members of the Bishop Lavis Crime Prevention Unit were busy with visible policing in the Bonteheuwel area when they received information from a reliable source about a suspect with an unlicensed firearm. The suspect was spotted in Loganberry Street and searched.
He was found in possession of mandrax tablets. He was taken to his residence where a search was conducted, which led to the discovery of a 9mm Beretta firearm, with two magazines filled with 21 rounds of ammunition. The 30 year old suspect was arrested.
Once charged, the suspect will make a court appearance in the Bishop Lavis Magistrate Court and face charges of possession of unlicensed firearm, possession of presumably stolen property and possession of drugs.
