Krugersdorp Police spokesperson Captain Raymond Sebonyane explained that Sergeants Butie Sithole and Foster Baloyi were busy with patrols around Krugersdorp at about 11:25 on Monday, November 22 when they noticed a suspicious silver Mercedes-Benz in Ockerse Street. They stopped and searched the vehicle.

They found 70 x .22 rounds of ammunition, one magazine and a pocket knife,” Captain Sebonyane said.

The driver of the vehicle was also unable to produce any documentation to prove that he was allowed to possess the ammunition.
