While on patrol near the Marathon informal settlement recently, officers from the Primrose Police Station noticed a vehicle parked near Johan Rissik Road.<\/p>\n

Suspicious, they approached the vehicle.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

When the occupants saw the SAPS van they sped off towards the Germiston CBD.<\/p>\n

The officers gave chase and after a high speed chase in the CBD, they were able to stop the vehicle.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Each of the occupants and the vehicle was searched by the police.<\/p>\n

During the search, a rusted Norinco with four rounds of ammunition was found in the possession of a 30-year-old passenger.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolice asked him for the firearm\u2019s license, but he did not have one.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was arrested on the spot and detained at the Primrose Police Station,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, the communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n

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