The two suspects aged between 29 and 32 years old appear before Witbank Magistrate’s Court.

On August 2 these suspects appeared facing charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition.

According to the SAPS, this emanates from the operation which was conducted on Friday, July 30 at approximately 04:00.

The police detectives and tracking team followed up after receiving information about someone in possession of unlicensed firearms.

The said suspect was identified in Vosman and one firearm, two toy guns, and ammunition were allegedly found in his possession.

Further investigation led police to a second suspect who was allegedly in possession of live ammunition and suspected stolen properties taken from a house robbery that occurred last month.

Police cannot rule out the possibility of linking the suspects to any other crime which may have been committed by the suspects elsewhere in the areas of Vosman or outside.

The Station Commander of Vosman Brigadier Lindani Ndlovu has applauded the members for the sterling work done.

“Illegal firearms are a danger to society, therefore I urge the community to inform police when they see or know anyone in possession of an illegal firearm,” said Brigadier Ndlovu.
