To prevent and combat crime that threatens the safety and security of communities, Kraaifontein SAPS members arrested a 25 year old male for possession of an unlicensed firearm at 22:20 on Sunday 28 April 2019.
The members were busy with crime prevention duties in Ntsenthe Street, Bloekombos, Kraaifontein when they came across a taxi blocking the street and people arguing around it. They stopped to investigate when they noticed a member of the public in possession of a firearm.
As soon as the person with the firearm, saw the police he started running in the opposite direction. The police members gave chase and cornered him in a residential property in Ntsenthe Street where he dropped the firearm next to him.
