Cleveland SAPS spokesperson Capt Johan Jordaan said JMPD officials spotted a suspicious-looking VW Golf 5 and stopped it.
“They ordered the three occupants out of the car and searched them. Upon searching them they found three firearms in their possession. They also discovered that the vehicle that the occupants were using was stolen,” he said.
The three were arrested and taken to Cleveland SAPS where they were detained.
