A crime combatting operation led to the confiscation of a firearm by police in efforts eradicating rising illegal firearms in Knysna.
“On Tuesday members
attached to the Knysna police responded to information of an illegal firearm on
board a vehicle. The team patrolled the area when they spotted the vehicle
parked near a building site in Main Street, Knysna,” said Sergeant Christopher
Spies.
“A search of the
vehicle ensued upon which the members found a 9mm short pistol with an empty
magazine concealed inside the vehicle. Police confiscated the firearm and
arrested a 45-year-old man on a charge of unlawful possession of a firearm,”
added Spies.
