Suspect arrested for unlicensed firearm

This past Sunday police arrested a 29-year-old male at Dragon City, on Corner Main Reef and Park Drive Street, for being in possession of ammunition and an unlicensed firearm.  

Dragon City security guards saw a suspicious male roaming around the shops and alerted the police while keeping their eyes on him. “When the officers arrived they searched him and discovered a firearm without a serial number as well as live rounds. The firearm will be sent to ballistics testing to ascertain if it was used in the commission of serious and violent crimes”, said Captain Xoli Mbele.

Johannesburg District Commander Major General Masha commended good the working relationship between police and other law enforcement agencies. 

“Working together will ensure that we subdue the escalation of serious and violent crimes”, concluded Captain Mbele.
