Police in Khayelitsha in the Western Cape seemingly scuttled the nefarious plans of two armed suspects roaming the streets of Mandela Park on New Year's Eve.
According to a SAPS statement, “while law abiding citizens were confined to their homes” the pair cruised the streets in the early hours of the morning in a hired Nissan Almera.
That is until they were spotted by members of the provincial integrated team, who were out in full force conducting a crime operation.
“The suspects were pulled over and a search of their vehicle led to the discovery of two unlicensed 9mm pistols and ammunition.”
The suspects, aged 25 and 26, are expected to make a court appearance in Khayelitsha on Monday.
They are charged with an offence in terms of the Disaster Management Act and for possession of unlicensed firearms.
