TWO SUSPECTS ARRESTED AFTER STOLEN SANDF RIFLES RECOVERED IN PRETORIA
Two suspects have been arrested at Mooiplaas Informal Settlement in Erasmia, Pretoria, after police recovered military fi****ms allegedly stolen during a burglary at a SANDF facility earlier this year.
The intelligence-driven operation, conducted jointly by SAPS and the SANDF on Saturday, resulted in the recovery of two R4 rifles with ammunition, a replica firearm, and a traffic officer's uniform.
The suspects now face charges including possession of unlicensed fi****ms and ammunition, possession of government property, possession of a dangerous weapon, and contravention of immigration laws.
Police are continuing their investigation and are probing whether the suspects may be linked to other criminal activities.
