11 men arrested for possession of illegal guns in Fisantekraal & Manenberg

Eleven men are behind bars after being caught in possession of illegal guns in Fisantekraal and Manenberg respectively.

In the first incident on Sunday, Durbanville police swooped on ten suspects in Fisantekraal after a spate of violent crime in the community.

Police spokesperson Joseph Swartbooi said officers were conducting an integrated disruptive operation at a house in Station Road on Sunday.

“At around 20:20, [police] searched the occupants and the entire premises during which they discovered and confiscated a .38 special revolver and a zip gun with ammunition. They subsequently arrested ten males,” Swartbooi said.

Swartbooi said in an unrelated incident in Manenberg, police responded to a shooting incident on Monday.

“Upon entering Manenberg Avenue at around 20:30, they saw people fleeing in different directions. The police members followed on foot and entered a dwelling where a person of interest indicated the firearm, which was allegedly used in the shooting incident, hidden behind a television mounted on the wall.”

Swartbooi said a 37-year-old man was arrested and once charged, all the suspects will appear in court.
