One arrested for unlicensed live ammunition

Police arrested a 44-year-old Diepsloot man after he was found in possession of unlicensed live ammunition on 21 January 2021.
The arrest took place in Diepsloot’s extension 6 at around 14:15 hrs, according to Diepsloot police spokesperson Captain Tinyiko Mathebula.
“Police members were on duty when they received a tip-off from a community member,” Captain Mathebula said. “The community member alleged that there is a certain shack in extension 6 where illegal activities are suspected to be taking place. The police acted swiftly on the information and proceeded to the said shack. “
Upon arrival, Captain Mathebula said, they conducted a search and found twenty rounds of live ammunition in the shack. “An African male who was found in the shack was asked to produce a license to possess live ammunition, which he failed to do and was subsequently arrested and charged with possession of unlicensed live ammunition.”
The suspect has appeared in the Randburg magistrate’s court. ˘���b�
