Police in Gauteng have in the past two weeks recovered more than 400 unlicensed firearms and nearly 3,000 rounds of ammunition.
The firearms and ammunition were seized during operations, routine crime-prevention patrols, stop-and-searches and through community tip-offs.
Two of the firearms were recovered on Saturday when members of the Johannesburg K9 unit nabbed two suspects in Jeppe after a robbery earlier in the day in Bloemfontein. “The duo were arrested and two unlicensed firearms and ammunition was recovered; another suspect evaded arrest,” Kweza said.
