Johannesburg Central police arrested a 38-year-old passenger, who was allegedly found in possession of unlicensed firearms in his luggage, at the Wanderers Taxi Rank, on Wednesday.
“Inside his bag, police recovered two unlicensed firearms and live ammunition. He failed to produce a licence to possess a firearm,” said Mbele.
Further, he said, the police would be sending the firearms for ballistic testing, to ascertain if they were used in the commission of other serious and violent crimes.
