29 January 2025 | From Arrive Alive
Police in KwaZulu-Natal have arrested a 26-year-old suspect after he was found in possession of eight firearms, five stun grenades, several rounds of ammunition of various calibre of firearms, including armour-piercing ammunition, as well as drug manufacturing machine and different types of drugs at Westham in Phoenix on Tuesday afternoon.
Police officers who are members of the Provincial Organised Crime and Provincial Drugs and Firearms Unit received information about a man who was suspected to be having firearms in each of his vehicles. An operation was planned and upon the execution of the operation, the suspect was arrested as he attempted to flee from his residence. He was found in possession of a firearm and drugs. Subsequent search led to the recovery of two shotguns inside his apartment. The other five firearms were found inside each of his five vehicles. Attempts were still underway to break-open his luxurious fully armoured SUV vehicle for a further search.
One of the recovered pistols belongs to the police service. There were also police-issued rounds of ammunition of an R5 rifle, shotgun ammunition and it also suspected that the recovered stun grenades belong to the police service. Investigations have already begun to uncover whether the suspect was in collusion with police officers or the firearm, ammunition and other recovered items were stolen from brutally killed police officers. The suspect is believed to be involved in the drug turf war drive-by shootings and other drug-related criminal activities.
Once processed, the suspect will be presented before court.
