Four firearms found hidden in car at Moot dealership
Further investigations will be done to determine whether the weapons were used in other crimes.
Firearms and ammunition were found hidden inside a vehicle at a car dealership in the Moot on Friday.
Sinoville police spokesperson Warrant Officer Johan van Dyk said their detectives were called to a local car dealership after weapons were found hidden inside one of the vehicles.
“The detectives followed up on the information and identified the vehicle. Upon searching the vehicle, four firearms were found hidden in the front safety belt panels,” he said.
All the firearms’ serial numbers had been tampered with. Van Dyk said it was later discovered that the vehicle (a red Mazda CX3) was reported stolen and recovered in Tsakane township in Ekurhuleni, Gauteng.
He said four suspects were arrested for car theft in the East Rand a few weeks ago in connection with the theft. “Further investigations will be done to determine whether the weapons were used in other crimes,” he said.
“At this stage, we can’t rule out making more arrests.
