During a recent stop-and-search in Meyer Street, in the CBD, the Germiston Task Team arrested a 29-year-old man.<\/p>\n

The man was found in possession of an unlicensed firearm.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cOfficers searched the accused during the stop-and-search and found a firearm, with a magazine without any live ammunition, in his possession,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, on behalf of the cluster commander.<\/p>\n

The man was asked for the license for the firearm, which he could not produce.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cDuring questioning, officers discovered that the man was from Thokoza and was on his way to the Makause informal settlement,\u201d Maome explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe suspect that he may be involved in several robberies in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n

The suspect has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrates Court, where his case was postponed for a bail application.<\/p>\n
