Six to appear in court for various crimes

Six suspects are expected to appear in court soon on charges of the possession of unlicensed firearms, ammunition and drugs, say Gauteng police.

This comes after members of the Anti-Gang Unit (AGU) executed a series of successful operations on Friday night leading to multiple arrests and significant seizures of illegal firearms, ammunition and drugs in Westbury and Eldorado Park.

“During routine foot patrols in Westbury, AGU members arrested a 31-year-old male for possession of an unlicensed firearm and 15 live rounds of ammunition. In a separate incident on the same patrol, a 26-year-old male was also arrested for possessing an unlicensed firearm and two live rounds of ammunition. Both arrests underscore the AGU’s relentless commitment to maintaining safety in our communities,” said the South African Police Service (SAPS).

The AGU also received a tip-off regarding drug activities at a residence along Steytler Street in Westbury. Upon arrival, the AGU team found a 52-year-old female in possession of 14 tablets and four halves of suspected mandrax drugs, leading to her arrest for possession of drugs.

In the early hours on Saturday, AGU members acted on information regarding a male with an unlicensed firearm along Sneeuberg Street, Extension 2, in Eldorado Park. They gained entry to a B-section flat and arrested a man found with an unlicensed firearm and eight live rounds of ammunition. 

Additionally, another suspect at the same location in a different flat, was apprehended for possessing 20 bags containing substances suspected to be khat.

At approximately 02:45, the AGU team conducted another operation at the B-section flats, arresting a male suspect for possession of an unlicensed firearm and 16 live rounds of ammunition, following a tip-off. 

The team was praised for their hard work which resulted in the confiscation of four unlicensed firearms, 41 live rounds of ammunition and two drug arrests with significant quantities of suspected drugs.

“The AGU remains steadfast in its mission to combat crime and protect our communities, urging residents to continue providing valuable information to support these efforts,” said the SAPS. – SAnews.gov.za
