Brakpan SAPS detectives are appealing to the public to come forward with information about the whereabouts of two Mozambican men wanted in connection with a house burglary during which six different types of firearms and ammunition were stolen.

According to Constable Audrey Buthelezi, Brakpan SAPS Sector 1 manager and communications officer, the pair was traced and spotted at the Mgongo informal settlement (Old Location) near Brakpan North.

“By the time the detectives arrived, both had run away. Several items that were stolen during the burglary in Brakpan North were found in a shack in which the two stay at Mgongo, and those items were positively identified by the homeowners,” she said.

“In the same shack, a TV was found which was positively identified by the owner who previously opened a house break-in case, and that case is still under investigation.

“It was then evident that the two foreign nationals were involved in illicit activities within the Brakpan precinct. The firearms and ammunition are still missing.”

The police are calling on anyone who might have information regarding the firearms and the whereabouts of the two men to come forward.

Buthelezi added that the men are considered armed and dangerous, and no community members should approach them.

Anyone with information can report it anonymously to 08600 10111, via the MySAPS app, or by calling 011 7444 111 or 071 675 6955.
