Primrose police were called to Wychwood by a local security company, last Monday.<\/p>\n
When they arrived at the address given, they found that a security officer had apprehended a 38-year-old man.<\/p>
\u201cHe told officers that he had been monitoring the area when he seized the man, who he claims was about to commit a robbery,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n
Police searched the man and found a black firearm with its serial number filed off and five rounds of live ammunition.<\/p>
\u201cThe man was asked for his firearm licence and when he was unable to provide one, he was arrested,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
He was arrested on a charge of possession of an unlicensed firearm and live ammunition.<\/p>\n
He was detained at the Primrose Police Station and will appear in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court soon.<\/p>\n
