While on a routine patrol in Zinnia Lane, in Primrose, last Saturday officers from the Primrose police noticed a suspicious looking vehicle.<\/p>\n
They approached the vehicle and asked the three occupants to exit the vehicle so they could be searched.<\/p>
During the search, police found a revolver, with five rounds of live ammunition, tucked into one of the men\u2019s waistbands.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 39-year-old was asked for his firearm licence, which he was unable to provide, and he was arrested and the firearm confiscated,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>
He was taken to the Primrose Police Station where he was charged with possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition.<\/p>\n
The suspect has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court, where the case was postponed for a bail application.<\/p>\n
