Cape Town police have arrested three individuals this week in separate incidents involving illegal firearms, ammunition, and drugs.
According to Police spokesperson Joseph
Swartbooi, the weapons were seized in Atlantis, Kraaifontein, and Browns Farm.

officers in Atlantis responded to a tip-off.
"The members proceeded to Sacramento
Street in Saxonsea and entered the house, upon which a search ensued. Their
persistence was rewarded when they discovered and confiscated a revolver with
ammunition and detained a 25-year-old male," said Swartbooi.
Swartbooi said Kraaifontein police made another
arrest in Bharu Street after seeing a suspicious man with an object in his
hand.
"They apprehended and searched him, which
resulted in the recovery of a 9mm pistol with ammunition and the detention of
the 22-year-old man for the possession of an unlicensed firearm and
ammunition."
The third arrest took place on Christmas Day in
Dweza Street, Browns Farm, while police were searching for a drug dealer.
During the search, authorities discovered 88 sachets of methamphetamine and
cash.
A 27-year-old woman was detained on charges of
drug dealing.
Swartbooi confirmed that the suspects will
appear in court once they have been formally charged.
