Suspects due in court for firearm and drug related charges

In their pursuit to bring stability to crime-affected areas, members of the Anti-Gang Unit reacted on intelligence and arrested two suspects aged 42 and 53 last night in Bishop Lavis for being in possession of two unlicensed firearms and drugs. The firearms, a revolver and a pistol, ammunition, mandrax, and tik were confiscated. Once charged, the two suspects are expected to make their court appearances in Bishop Lavis.

In an unrelated matter, members of Table View police responded to a disturbance of the peace complaint in Parklands yesterday when their instincts prompted them to search the premises. This search resulted in the arrest of four males and four females aged between 20 and 46 after 8849 mandrax tablets, 6000 ecstasy tablets, a tablet maker, and cash to the tune of R72000-00 were discovered.

The approximate street value of the seized items is R1.3 million. The eight suspects are expected to make their court appearance tomorrow in Cape Town on a charge of dealing drugs.
