Police have arrested a suspect wanted in an attempted murder case in Malmesbury in the Western Cape. On Tuesday morning, members of the Malmesbury Crime Prevention Unit responded to information about a wanted suspect, who was in hiding. The suspect had evaded arrest after perpetrating attempted murder over the weekend, where a victim sustained a gunshot wound. The information led the members to the hiding place of the suspect on Anemone Street in Wesbank, Malmesbury, where they found and apprehended the 22-year-old suspect. When the members searched the suspect and the premises, they found a .38 special revolver and four rounds of ammunition. Further investigation revealed that the suspect had stolen the firearm during a burglary. The suspect will appear in the Malmesbury Magistrates' Court on charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition, and attempted murder. Source: South African Government News Agency
