Members of the Germiston Flying Squad arrested four men and recovered two unlicensed firearms at the Gosforth Plaza on the N17 highway in Germiston at 9.45pm on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is alleged the men shot and killed a man in an open veld opposite Ntokozweni School in KwaThema,\u201d said Const Ntombikayise Ngcobo, communications officer for the Germiston Flying Squad.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Sgt Solly Chavalala and Const Harold Kgare Mokgari from the Germiston Flying Squad, who were on the N17 conducting routine patrols, received a lookout from the SAPS communication radio about the black VW Polo.<\/p>

The members spotted a motor vehicle fitting the description and they approached and stopped it at the Gosforth Plaza.<\/p>\n

\u201cUpon searching the car, two .38 special revolvers were found in the possession of the suspects and the officers also suspected the motor vehicle had been stolen as the registration number of the vehicle had no information attached to it,\u201d said Ngcobo.<\/p>\n

The suspects are due to appear in court soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thank the member of the community who called and gave the police the information about the shooting as with his information we managed to arrest the perpetrators,\u201d said Ngcobo.<\/p>\n
