I n the early hours of Tuesday morning, 28 January 2025, members of Public Order Policing deployed in the Manenberg area were busy with stop and search operations to fight gang violence when they stopped and searched a male who was walking in Jordan Road who tried to evade the members. They found a 9mm pistol with seven rounds of ammunition in his possession. The 21-year-old suspect who was arrested, face charges for the illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition.
In an unrelated matter, members of Grassy Park SAPS arrested an adult male when they caught him with a home-made zip gun with ammunition in his possession. The members were busy with patrols in Dove Road, Parkwood when they saw two males walking on the road who started running when they saw the police van approaching. One male was apprehended and upon searching him, found the zip gun in his possession.
The suspects will make their respective court appearances in the Athlone and Wynberg Magistrates’ Courts once they have been charged.
