A man (44) has been arrested for being in possession of five ammunition of a 38 special revolver. The suspect was arrested during the execution of vehicle patrols, stop and searches in Kimberley and surrounding areas on 14 April 2024.
The Operation Vala Umgodi team followed up on intelligence-driven information in Homelite, in Kimberley. Further investigation allegedly led the police to a house in Phakamile Mabija Road in Kimberley, where a rifle ammunition was also discovered.
The Northern Cape police spokesperson, Sergeant Molefi Shemane said, the suspect was arrested for illegal possession of ammunition. Shemane said in Galeshewe Township, a Nigerian man (35) was arrested for allegedly dealing in drugs.
“He was arrested after crystal meth with an estimated street value of R12 000, was found in his possession, as well as cash believed to be proceeds of crime. The suspects are expected to appear in court soon,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Northern Cape Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Koliswa Otola, welcomed the arrests and commended the teams for their concerted efforts in addressing illicit mining activities as well as other crimes.
