Man nabbed after high speed chase in Norkem Park
A male suspect was arrested on charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm and possession of ammunition in Norkem Park.
Norkem Park SAPS members Sgt Junior Masete and Sgt Daniel Ntlemo were busy with patrols in Norkem Park when they spotted a vehicle travelling at high speed on April 13.
The officers chased the white Toyota Hilux bakkie but the driver accelerated and did not stop at stop signs.
“The officers managed to stop him and upon searching him and the vehicle they found a 9mm parabellum with the serial number filed off, one magazine and six live rounds of ammunition,” said Sgt Barbara-Anne Ferreira, spokesperson for Norkem Park SAPS.
“The members were assisted by Guards Must be Craze Security Services.”
Ferreira said the male suspect was detained at the Norkem Park Police Station on charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm and possession of ammunition.
