“Both suspects were arrested and a gas gun with ammunition and tik was confiscated. Once charged, they will make their court appearance in the Khayelitsha Magistrate’s court,” said Gwala.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday 17 January, Milnerton police arrested two suspects for possession of drugs worth half a million rand after a tip off. Officers received information about a suspicious car coming from Parklands towards Cape Town.
