WESTERN CAPE A 26-year-old female was arrested yesterday by members of the Anti-Gang Unit on charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition. The members who are committed to remove illegal firearms and ammunition from the communities acted on information they received and proceeded to an address in Extension 13 in Belhar. According to the information a suspect was in possession of an illegal firearm at the address.

During the search of the premises no firearm was found but incriminating evidence was found on the suspect’s cellular telephone with regards to illegal firearms. This information was followed up that led to another residence where the firearm was moved to, also in Ext 13 Belhar. During the search of the premises a 357 Magnum Taurus revolver, 9mm Glock magazine and 11 x 9mm rounds was found in a shoebox at the residence.

The suspect will appear in court soon on the mentioned charges.
