According to police, officers became suspicious after the Volkswagen Polo in which the men were travelling made a U-turn and proceeded in the opposite direction.
Police followed the vehicle and stopped it before searching the occupants and the vehicle.
An unlicensed 9mm pistol with five live rounds, cash and dagga were recovered.
The three men appeared in the Port Shepstone Magistrates’ Court last Tuesday, on charges of possession of dagga, unlicensed firearm and ammunition.
