The Hawks in Western Cape have arrested a 36-year old man at a house in Epping Street, Milnerton, for the possession of two unlicensed firearms and ammunition.
According to reports officers from the Hawks followed up on information about the unlicensed firearms being kept at a residence. Spokesperson, Zinzi Hani, confirmed the arrest, indicating that on arrival a bag containing firearms and ammunition was discovered by the members outside the suspect’s house.
