He is expected to appear in the Port Shepstone Magistrate’s Court soon.
In a separate case, members of Saps Msinsini conducted a raid at Nyavini in the Umzumbe area, where four men between the ages of 24 and 29 were arrested.
Three 9mm firearms, a shotgun and a rifle were recovered in the raid, as well as 31 rounds of live ammunition.
The group was charged for being in possession of unlicensed firearms, ammunition and pointing of a firearm.
They appeared in the Umzumbe Magistrate’s Court and will remain in police custody.
