WESTERN CAPE - Ongoing efforts by the Anti-Gang Unit to secure a gun free society yielded good results. This comes after the unit’s investigation led them to a house in Woodlands, Mitchell’s Plain believed to have a firearm and selling ammunition on Monday, 27 February 2023 at about 18:00.

A search operation was conducted at the premises when police recovered police uniform, a .45 mm pistol, a .357 Magnum and a shotgun. The members then proceeded to a house in Lentegeur where they recovered ammunition, a bullet press and gunpowder.

The 49-year-old man was arrested and will appear in the Mitchell’s Plain Magistrate’s once he is charged.
