While on a routine patrol in Primrose, last Sunday, officers from the Primrose Police Station stopped a suspicious vehicle in Pretoria Road.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter introducing themselves police asked the vehicle\u2019s driver and passenger to exit the vehicle so they could be searched,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>
During the search a black and silver revolver, with two rounds of live ammunition, was found in the driver\u2019s front pocket.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe man was unable to produce a licence for the firearm and was arrested,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>
He was arrested and taken to the Primrose Police Station, where he was charged with possession of an unlicensed firearm and live ammunition.<\/p>\n
The suspect has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court, where his case was postponed for plea and trial.<\/p>\n
