Henry du Randt, het die polisie reageer op inligting rakende \u2019n huisinbraak en diefstal by die stoor en \u2019n huis toe hulle op die wapenvonds afkom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2019n Verdagte (61), van Duitse afkoms, wat glo die stoor gehuur het, is Vrydag op \u2019n kleinhoewe in die omgewing van Tierfontein buite Malmesbury in verband met die wapenvonds in hegtenis geneem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Altesaam 44 vuurwapens, vuurwapenkomponente en \u2019n astronomiese 42 218 stuks ammunisie is by die stoor en in die verdagte se huis op die kleinhoewe gevind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die verdagte is in hegtenis geneem nadat hy versuim het om \u2019n geldige vuurwapenlisensie te oorhandig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bheki Cele, nasionale minister van polisie, het Vrydag die toneel waar die wapens gevind is, asook die kleinhoewe, vlugtig besoek. Hy sou die media daar toespreek, maar het nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2019n Ondersoek is van stapel gestuur waartydens vasgestel sal word of di\u00e9 vuurwapens met ander misdade verbind kan word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die verdagte het gister (Maandag) in die plaaslike landdroshof op aanklagte van die besit van onwettige vuurwapens en ammunisie asook die besit van vuurwapens wat nie veilig toegesluit of in \u2019n geregistreerde kluis geb\u00eare is nie, verskyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intussen het die plaaslike polisie Sondagaand laat vier verdagtes in hegtenis geneem wat besig was om ammunisie te tel. Inligting is ontvang dat drie verdagtes (31, 35 en 40 jaar oud) ammunisie by \u2019n woning in Ilingelethu tel. Die gerugte is met die polisie se aankoms bevestig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Verdere inligting is opgevolg, wat tot die inhegtenisneming van \u2019n 19-jarige verdagte, in die besit van ammunisie en \u2019n ongelisensieerde vuurwapen, gelei het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDie polisie vermoed die ammunisie en vuurwapen wat Sondagaand gekry is, kan verbind word met die diefstal wat by die stoor in Schoonspruitweg en die woning op Tierfontein plaasgevind het, waar die polisie op die groot vuurwapenvonds beslag gel\u00ea is,\u201d voeg Du Randt by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Di\u00e9 vier verdagtes het ook Maandag in die Malmesbury-hof verskyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die omstandighede rakende die wapenvonds word deur die Wes-Kaapse eenheid teen georganiseerde misdaad
