Unlicensed weapon possession was the charge against a 14-year-old kid who was apprehended and held, and 288 boxes of cigarettes were found.
A CHILD who is just 14 years old has been arrested and held for possession of an unauthorized handgun without a valid firearm permit.
Police officers from Atlantis responded to a complaint at Hornbill Crescent, Robinvale, where a victim claimed he had been struck in the head with a weapon. Warrant Officer Joseph Swartbooi said the victim was not injured.
When the police arrived on Hobby Avenue, the child attempted to leave, but he was stopped by an article he had dropped. He was apprehended, and the police discovered a pistol beneath a tree that had been sprayed with blood.
The suspect, who is 14 years old, is set to appear at the magistrates’ courts in Goodwood and Atlantis on Monday.
Similarly, after the burglary of a cigarette delivery van last week, members of the Maitland Flying Squad obtained information regarding cigarettes being sold in Bellville at an unidentified location.
“When the members got to the location, they discovered 288 cartons of cigarettes,” Swartbooi said. There have been no arrests and the subject is now under investigation.
During a routine patrol at Halt Road, Elsies River, a member of the public informed the Flying Squad that an unknown assailant had fired at him.
In the process of chasing down the guy, he brandished a revolver at the officers.” “They opened fire on him, striking him in the right arm,” Swartbooi said. In addition to the ammo, a 9mm handgun with no serial number was retrieved.
