The detectives’ investigations focused on theft out of motor vehicle cases reported in Katlehong, and four suspects were arrested for this crime.
Two men, aged 24 and 35 years old respectively, were among the suspects arrested.
The pair were charged with stealing a firearm from a vehicle parked in Ramokonopi West.
“Further investigation is being done in this case as the vehicle that the firearm was allegedly stolen from has still not been claimed by its owner,” said Capt Mega Ndobe, Katlehong corporate communications official.
