The police are looking for two men, who were walking along R64 road at Samaria Informal Settlement in Kimberley on Tuesday, allegedly carrying a black shopping plastic bag. It is alleged that, upon seeing the Platoon 5 police of Kimberley Public Order Policing Unit approaching, they dropped the plastic bag and fled.

The Northern Cape police spokesperson, Lieutenant Col Sergio Kock said the suspects disappeared into the shanties and the police searched the plastic shopping bag, where they found 9mm, Point 22, 38 special, hollow point, 7,65 normal and green projector rounds inside it.

“The police seized 470 rounds of ammunition. The two suspects were dark in complexion and wearing blue overalls and yellow T- shirts. No arrests were effected, however, the proliferation of firearms and ammunition remains a priority for the police, hence the police request that anyone with information about the suspect’s’ whereabouts to immediately contact their nearest police station or utilize the MySaps app.

“The police urge the public not to approach these suspects as they are presumed to be armed and dangerous,” he said.
