Drie mans van Kaapstad het Dinsdag (17\u2009Februarie) in die Vredenburg-landdroshof verskyn nadat hulle Sondagmiddag met twee ongelisensieerde vuurwapens en ammunisie in hul besit in hegtenis geneem is.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens kapt. Tania Helfrich, ‘n distrikswoordvoerder vir die Weskus-polisie, is Ndiphenkosi Qondani (45), Bongile Mhlolo (46) en Sive Salmane (25) in hegtenis geneem nadat lede van Vredenburg-polisie se misdaadvoorkomingseenheid op Sondag 15 Februarie omstreeks 16:00 ‘n silwer Suzuki-motor in Vredenburg opgemerk het wat oor ‘n rooi verkeerslig ry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die voertuig is agtervolg en voorgekeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens inligting het die bestuurder uit die Suzuki geklim toe ‘n polisielid die voertuig nader.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die polisielid het ‘n vuurwapen op die sitplek van die voertuig gesien en sy kollegas gewaarsku, waarna versterkings ontbied is.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die polisie het ook gesien die voertuig het geen nommerplate op nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Een van die passasiers het glo probeer om iets onder ‘n sitplek weg te steek en is beveel om nie te beweeg nie.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Met die aankoms van versterkingslede is die twee passasiers beveel om uit die voertuig te klim. Tydens ‘n deursoeking van die voertuig is twee ongelisensieerde vuurwapens en ammunisie gevind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nommerplate en balaklawas is ook agter in die voertuig aangetref.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die bestuurder het volgens inligting wel ‘n geldige lisensie vir s\u00fd vuurwapen gehad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al drie mans is in hegtenis geneem en staan tereg op aanklagte wat met die besit van ongelisensieerde vuurwapens en ammunisie verband hou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
