Holidaymaker finds gun while metal detecting
He tried to call the Southbroom Saps a few times, and after no reply, went to the station, however it was locked with nobody in sight.
While out metal detecting, a Johannesburg holidaymaker found a loaded gun in Southbroom on Tuesday this week.
After meeting a member from the conservancy while metal detecting on one of the beaches, Tienie Prinsloo decided to try the Bushbuck Trail near the tennis courts.
“About four metres into the trail, I got a signal and found a gun, which turned out to be loaded, buried under a few centimetres of dirt,” he added.
He tried to call the Southbroom Saps a few times, and after no reply, went to the station, however it was locked with nobody in sight.
While leaving, he saw a security vehicle, called their head office and ask for assistance.
A few hours later, they arrived with some police personnel who took possession of the weapon.
