On Monday 21 January 2019, at about 00:30, Mitchells Plain Cluster Crime Prevention Unit (CPU) members were busy with crime prevention duties, when they received a complaint of a firearm being kept at a house in Dolomites street, Tafelsig.
While searching the premises, members found a black 9mm Star pistol with its serial number filed off, along with two magazines and 17 x 9mm rounds.
