Suspect found in possession of firearms and ammunition to appear in court

A 48-year-old is due to appear before the Greytown Magistrate’s Court soon after being found in possession of firearms and ammunition.

This follows a multidisciplinary operation comprising members attached to the Pietermaritzburg Flying Squad, Pietermaritzburg Public Order Policing (POP), and local security companies.

“On Thursday, 13 February 2025, police conducted an informer operation following information regarding unlicensed firearms at a homestead in Ngome. 

“Upon arrival, officers searched the premises and found two .303 rifles, two pistols, and ammunition. Further investigation led to the recovery of a South African National Defence Force (SANDF) uniform,” said KwaZulu-Natal police. -SAnews.gov.za
