Const Erin Palmer and Const Raisibe Ramotshela, members of the Elsburg Vispol Unit, were patrolling in the area last Monday when they made a successful arrest.<\/p>\n
The two noticed a suspicious, unknown man carrying a small black bag in his hands.<\/p>
\u201cThey approached him and asked him what he was carrying in the black bag.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was found that he was carrying silver coins and four rounds of live ammunition,\u201d said Const Daphney Phooko, communications officer for the Elsburg SAPS.<\/p>
\u201cThe suspect was then instructed to empty his pockets but nothing illegal was found.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 17-year-old boy was arrested and transferred to a place of safety where he will remain until his court appearance.<\/p>\n
He is due to appear in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court soon, to face a charge of possession of live ammunition.<\/p>\n
