Police spokesperson Lieut Nomsa Sekele said that this section was closed by the SAPS due to non-compliance.
“Their licence has expired and all firearms in the store were confiscated and taken to the Benoni SAPS for safekeeping,” said Sekele.
“These firearms included dealer stock, firearms that were sold to the public but have not yet been collected and firearms handed in for safekeeping by owners,” said Sekele.
Sekele invited all members of the public who kept their firearms at the store for safekeeping to come and collect them at the station.
She said failure to do so means their firearms will be forfeited by the state.
Those willing to do so can contact Lieut Andrieka Bell, at the exhibit management, on 011 747 0214.
Documentation proving ownership will be required for firearms to be collected.
