The operation yielded a .38 Special Taurus revolver along with 11 rounds of ammunition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the firearms discovery, officers seized 30 sachets containing tik and six Mandrax tablets. They also recovered R130 in cash believed to be proceeds of crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All 12 face charges that include possession of an unlicensed firearm, illegal possession of ammunition and dealing in
