Partnership policing in Bishop Lavis has led to the arrest of a 17 year old male on 21 February 2019, for being in possession of an unlicensed 9mm pistol and nine rounds of ammunition.

SAPS members reacted on a tipoff regarding the firearm and approached a residence in Bonteheuwel. The suspect made an attempt to evade his arrest by hiding, but was apprehended and the firearm was confiscated.

He is due to make a court appearance in Bishop Lavis after due process has been followed because of his age.
