Ravensmead police welcome the arrests of five suspects following a tipoff from community members on Friday 26 January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police spokesperson Odwa Makupula says police members were alerted while on patrol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur members were busy with their normal patrol duties when they received information from the community members that there was a vehicle parked inside the yard at 63 Aster Avenue, in Uitsig, with guns underneath it,\u201d says Makupula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He says they quickly followed up and found that two firearms were buried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was a 9mm pistol black with magazine with no bullets and serial number filed off. The other one was a 7.65 mm pistol black and brown with serial number and magazine with no bullets,\u201d explains Makupula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The suspects, aged between 18 and 43-years-old, were charged with illegal possession of firearms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe would like to take this opportunity to sincerely express words of thank you and gratitude to the community for their contribution and support in ensuring that Ravensmead community is a gun free society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe also encourage other community members to come forward with information about guns, drugs and other illegal activities in the community,\u201d adds Makupula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
