LIMPOPO – The suspects were arrested at Groblersdal and Lebowakgomo on Tuesday night as part of a continuation of the police operation where three suspects were arrested for possession of unlicensed firearms earlier this week.

A 38-year-old police constable attached to the TRT at Groblersdal was arrested in Groblersdal. “He was found to be in possession of an unlicensed fire arm and ammunition, said Otto.
“Two other suspects aged 36 and 32 were arrested at Lebowakgomo.”
A vehicle believed to have been used in the commission of the crimes was also recovered. The suspects are due to appear in a Limpopo court on Thursday, concluded Otto.
