Illegal ammunition seized at abandoned home

Members of the Myburgh Foundation’s Community Safety Unit uncovered suspected illegal activity at a dilapidated house in Plum Street.

Members of the Myburgh Community Safety Unit discovered 10 live pump-action shotgun rounds in a dilapidated house in Plum Street.

At about noon on January 5, unit members visited the property following reports of illicit activity.

According to Myburgh Foundation founder Randy Christian, signs of drug-related activity were found at the scene, where the ammunition was discovered.

Christian confirmed that no one was present at the property when members gained entry.

The ammunition was handed over to Toekomsrus SAPS and registered under case number 137/1/2026.

“Although no arrests have been made, the seizure of the live rounds can still be considered a success in a neighbourhood where gun violence and random night shootings are rife,” said Christian.
