A stolen gun, drugs and ammunition were recovered by police in Bellville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Bellville police spokesperson, Warrant Officer Henrietta van Niekerk, their station\u2019s task team was out on patrol at noon in \u201chotspot\u201d areas when the incident happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They spotted a suspicious Silver Golf GTI at the notorious Parksig Villas complex in Bellville. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three men and a woman were sitting in the car outside the complex, which is often in the news for unlawful activities in the vicinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUpon searching a vehicle, a firearm was found under the driver\u2019s seat,\u201d Van Niekerk said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c The firearm was tested and came up positive as stolen, in a case in East London.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The police also recovered ammunition and drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is suspected that the vehicle could have been used in a crime committed in the Bellville area,\u201d Van Niekerk added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cases of possession of a stolen firearm and possession of drugs were opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
