This 39-year-old man was recently arrested during a police operation in the Delport informal settlement.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cPolice were patrolling in the informal settlement when they noticed a place where people were drinking alcohol.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe officers were able to trace the building where the alcohol was being bought from,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n

They entered the building and identified themselves and asked the owner for a liquor licence, which he could not produce.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

During a search of the premises officers found two firearms, which the suspect was unable to produce a licence for.<\/p>\n

He was arrested and detained at the Primrose Police Station.<\/p>\n

He has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court where his case was postponed for a bail application.<\/p>\n
