In their efforts to deal with serious and violent crimes Gansbaai police officers recovered a firearm with ammunition and drugs.
On 26 November, while on patrol, they followed up on information about a person in possession of a firearm without a valid licence.
“The members drove to a nearby nature reserve where they saw the person who fitted the description,” Warrant Officer Joseph Swartbooi said. “They approached the female suspect, who was found in possession of a .38 special revolver and a small assortment of ammunition.”
He said the police officers arrested the adult female and charged her with unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition.
