Four held after gunshots fired

FOUR suspects are expected to appear in court following their arrest by members from Operation Thunder, Tactical Response Team and K9 Unit in Mission Station, near Crossroads in Nyanga.

Police received information that the suspects, who were involved in random shootings in the Nyanga and Mitchells Plain areas, were hiding in the area.

The teams pounced on the four and found two in possession of two pistols with no serial numbers. The third suspect was found with an unlicensed firearm and 60 rounds of ammunition, and the fourth was found in possession of drugs.

Western Cape Provincial Commissioner Khombinkosi Jula commended the members for their proactive approach. |
