Police in Cape Town have arrested three people for being in possession of illegal firearms and ammunition, Western Cape police said on Saturday.
Police attached to the stabilisation unit were conducting high visibility patrols as part of the festive season anti-crime drive in Nyanga on Friday when they received a tip-off from the community about firearms being kept at a spaza shop owned by Somali nationals in Khobosi Street, Crossroads, Sergeant Noloyiso Rwexana said.
Two Norinco 9mm pistols and 33 rounds of ammunition were seized by police at the premises.
Three suspects aged between 25 and 31 years were arrested and would appear in the Athlone Magistrate’s Court on Monday on charges of illegal possession of firearms ammunition, Rwexana said.
