Six men were over the weekend arrested and
several weapons seized during an operation led by the Limpopo police.
The suspects are linked to an armed robbery
case which happened in the Mahwelreng area.
All six suspects face possible charges of
possession of unlicensed firearms and explosives.
Lieutenant General Solomon Makgale said all
the firearms seized have been sent for ballistic testing to determine if they
were used in other crimes.
“The intelligence that we had received is
that these people were going to commit this crime and indeed when we arrested
them we recovered an instrument that we believe were going to be used for this
crime they have planned to commit.
We have recovered pistols with live rounds,
we also recovered two revolvers with live rounds, explosives, barraclavas, one
ten pound, hammer,” Makgale added.
